Susan Shapiro BarashDear Reader:

Welcome to my website. I’m delighted to announce that my thirteenth book, The Nine Phases of Marriage: How to Make It, Break It, Keep It, is being published on September 18th. I loved working on this project and listening to how a diverse group of women (all ages, social strata, ethnicities) feel about their marriages at every phase. The goal for wives is to have a better understanding of the course that their marriages run in order to craft more satisfying and successful relationships. I plan to keep you updated on what’s lined up in terms of book promotion including speaking engagements, blogs, magazine articles and t.v. appearances.

Here is a picture of me with my two daughters, Jennie and Elizabeth

If you are a member of a book club, you may want to check out the discussion guide for The Nine Phases of Marriage. I’d be happy to come speak at your club or do a ‘phone-in’, just fill out the sign-up form.

Meanwhile, my book, Toxic Friends, was in the news when Lindsay Lohan was spotted carrying a copy. Check out the picture below! Both of my books, Toxic Friends and You’re Grounded Forever…But First Let’s Go Shopping, are intriguing projects that underscore my ongoing fascination with how women everywhere lead their lives. And in speaking with mothers about raising daughters, most women said that without a doubt, it’s a dicier proposition than raising sons!

Best wishes,
Susan
