THREE SHORT WOMEN,
THREE TALL (TRUE) TALES!

Three memoirists meet on a panel and discover they have plenty in common. For one thing, they are all short. And they have each written compelling, highly praised memoirs about a different, critical role in a woman's life -- daughter, lover, or mother -- like three acts in a play. What do the authors do once they find each other? They take their show on the road.
