Living Out Loud

Three women, strangers, set out for a writers' course in Paris. Ruth: 'To ponder a pestering dilemma through writing: Is it possible to enjoy a personal relationship at this stage of life, or will I devote my country life to tending my French garden, reading and writing? What must be compromised?Kaye: 'To spend time on creative writing, something I always wanted to do. It was a hidden desire. Something deep within me knew that if I wanted to write, I needed to go to Paris.'Vicki: 'Travelling to Paris was an escape, an opportunity to be me without obligations as a mother, daughter, wife or friend. To be alone with myself.'They found much more and became the Rue Berger Writers.These letters are a testament to the power of the pen, women, and friendship.
