    About this ebook

    Things aren't going too well for Paula right now. She's new in town, has stress at home and is unhappily in love. And the other girls arae not only more good-looking than she - they are all involved with boys and even have hot stuff going on. She's the only one who's left behind. And whereas the others go to Cancun for the holidays, she's supposed to go to her aunt somewhere boring on the shore of Lake Michigan.
    But then a lot of things start happening - with Matthew and love and her body. And she discovers that a lot of stuff is not at all the way the others have been telling her.

    Karin Linnander

    Karin Linnander wurde 1954 geboren und lebt in Frankfurt am Main. Seit fast 30 Jahren verfolgt sie einen spirituellen schamanischen Weg. Mit 45, kurz nach dem Eintritt in die Menopause, entschied sie sich, einen Neustart zu wagen und sich dem Erforschen und Weitergeben von Übergangsriten zu widmen. So möchte sie die Wandlungsphasen im Leben ehren, die wir in der westlichen Welt aus den Augen verloren haben. Sie studierte Psychologie und psychologische Beratung (M. A.) und arbeitete anschließend viele Jahre lang mit Mädchen zu ihrer ersten Menstruation und ihrem Übergang zum Frausein. Der Schritt von dort zu Übergangsriten der Menopause war für Karin ganz natürlich: Denn genau wie für Mädchen mit ihrer ersten Menstruation öffnet sich auch hier ein ganz neuer Lebensabschnitt.

      I walked down the road with a hunched back and a wet cigarette in my mouth—the fire had died a while back. My hands were tucked into the pockets of my jacket, and my hair fell over my face, limiting my sight. But I wasn’t really seeing where I was go
