 You know, this book, on the one hand, it's very much a story about Rocky having reached this point in her life where, yes, she's going through menopause and that's a challenge. But really, she's at this pretty happy place. And there's this passage where she thinks to herself, I'd pick this life, too. I'd even pick the way that pain has burnished me to brightness. The pain itself, though, I imagine I'd give it up if I could. Was pain necessary for Rocky to get to this joyful, relaxed part of life?
