Kirsten Miller on “The Change”—Menopause, Magic Realism, and the Superpowers of Midlife

 

Can midlife be a portal to our most powerful selves? What if menopause came with superpowers?

Kirsten Miller conjures up answers in The Change, a razor-sharp feminist revenge fantasy about three women who navigate the thickets of menopause and small-town murder with unusual powers unlocked by midlife.

Miller spins a tale that's equal parts thriller, magic realism, and feminist manifesto—a recipe that landed "The Change" as a GMA Book Club pick.

Join host Katie Fogarty and Kirsten to explore how righteous anger can be alchemized into creativity and action, why women in their forties and fifties represent "the most powerful generation of women in the history of the world," and how midlife gives us a clearer vision of our gifts.

Forget invisible—in The Change, the women are powerful and completely out of f*cks to give. That is to say, they are unstoppable.
