The Adjustable Lives of Women
Candice Bartlett is determined to push the limits on her radio talk show, The Adjustable Lives of Women. Against the instincts of Barbara Ann, her cautiously pessimistic producer, Candice allows her unscripted impulsivity to guide her listeners and callers through an exploration of happiness, sadness, and hope—because Candice knows that when the facts are fractured, life can be a bumpy road.
As menopause misery, shoe envy, and two rogue Southern belles collide in the office, callers tell their stories about PTSD, family challenges, prescription mental-health medication gone mad, and heart-wrenching grief, the death of a child. Candice gives herself the authority to speak—and to grieve, to sleep, and to shift her thinking in her own flawed life.
The Adjustable Lives of Women is packed with struggle and hope, applauding women and their lives.

Sharon Paskoff walked many paths of grief in search for hope when hope was hard to find. The shifting quicksand of a health diagnosis and her mother’s slow decline kept grief personal and painful, a daily battle for finding the light. Paskoff attended the University of Georgia and earned a BS in psychology from Georgia State University. In 1978, she opened Intown Exercise Studio, where she taught exercise classes in the friendly Atlanta Virginia Highland neighborhood. Sharon has been a community volunteer at Our House and the Midtown Assistance Center and is the cofounder (with her son) of the B. Snacks Foundation. She lives in Atlanta with her husband and husky mix, Margo, and enjoys reading, fishing, and playing tennis as a part-time resident of the low country of South Carolina.
