Diana stands before the mirror preening with her best friend, Maureen. Suddenly, a classmate enters holding a gun, and Diana sees her life dance before her eyes. In a moment the future she was just imagining--a doting wife and mother at the age of forty--is sealed by a horrific decision she is forced to make. In prose infused with the dramatically feminine sensuality of spring, we experience seventeen-year-old Diana's uncertain steps into womanhood--her awkward, heated forays into sex; her fresh, fragile construction of an identity. Together with the sights and sounds of renewal, we experience the tasks of Diana's adulthood: protecting her beloved daughter and holding onto her successful husband.An acclaimed writer and poet, Laura Kasischke has crafted a consciousness that encompasses the truth of a teenager's world and the profound transformation of that world at midlife. Resonant and deeply stirring, The Life Before Her Eyes finds piercing beauty in the midst of a nightmare from long ago that echoes like a dirge beneath each new spring.

True to size very good material. The quality is excellent. It’s lightweight and it says that the color I love very much in style.

Not worth buying
Size: Small, Color: Light Blue
Cheap material, stitching looks cheap, and the collar is way too big, almost like it’s a wrong cut. It doesn’t look good at all. Decide it to throw away in the trash right away. It’s a $25 mistake.

Just as described
Size: X-Large, Color: Black
Pullover is soft and comfortable. Too soon to comment on shrinkage but quality seems to be good. Not heavy duty but good quality.

FYI
Size: 3X-Large, Color: Khaki
Me and my wife liked the look of the sweatshirt. The color is what I expected. Shirt was comfortable. I got the 3X and it fit pretty good. However I was debating if the 2X would have been better, but I have big shoulders and it may have been tight. Length was pretty good, but my thoughts it could have been just a tad longer.
