    [synopsis] => Four women find humor, truth, and a better path forward by deconstructing memory and emotion.

 Hunter is lost. Her husband left her for her best friend, she's unemployed with no prospects, and the San Francisco flea market she's wandering on a weekday is so foggy that she literally doesn't know where she is. But after a helpful visit and a gift from a stranger, Hunter resolves to find her way. She begins a support group for women looking for new beginnings.

The Talking Stick is the adventure of Hunter and the three women who join her reclamation journey. Together, they reexamine their pasts, exploring their grief, addictions, parenting, and marriages. In doing so, they discover that some of their most-cherished memories are romanticized versions of the truth. Meanwhile, they unearth other memories – memories that challenge how they've been living for years. The Talking Stick is a fast-paced dramedy set in the Bay Area, told with the characteristic humor of Donna Levin, an author whom Kirkus called "A witty, modern voice" and the Los Angeles Times deemed "a novelist to keep high on your reading list."

Donna Levin is the author of four acclaimed novels, Extraordinary Means, California Street, There's More Than One Way Home, and He Could Be Another Bill Gates. She has also written two books on the craft of writing: Get That Novel Started and Get That Novel Written. Her work is included in Boston University's Howard Gotlieb Archival Research Center, and in the California State Library's collection of California novels. She lives in San Francisco.
