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.

Powerful
Bought this to replace my dying whisk. This frother is very powerful. I’ve only used it to make cold foam so far and I will say I’m impressed. I love that it stays on when you press the button and don’t need to hold it. Just remember to shut it off before you take it out of whatever you are mixing!

Works well to froth my instant latte
I got this because I've started drinking Clever Sleeptime Super Latte to replace giant magnesium pills at night. Its directions say it's highly recommended to froth it, so I got this to do that. So far so good, but Ive only been using it about a week. Other reviews report it not holding up so I will update my review if that happens.
