Voices: The Truth About How We Live Today

The eleven writers featured here, in Purple Clover's inaugural collection of personal essays, are the Lena Dunhams of our generation — a little older, possibly a little wiser, certainly more experienced and generally less inclined to parade around naked. The essays — taken from our site's popular Voices series — covers everything from finding love in midlife to the joys and heartbreak of adoption to a longtime married couple navigating the shoals of their new stay-at-home status to a bold journey of sexual reawakening. Collectively, they reflect the emotional truth of how we live today.
