Reseña del editor

Five sisters, the fastest rising stars on public radio, share their powerful approach to life that is drawn from big-family wisdom and insight, revealing the five UnCommon Senses acquired when growing up in a large family--a sense of connection, self, humor, adventure, and direction--that prepare one for life in the real world. 100,000 first printing. First serial, O: The Oprah Magazine.

Biografía del autor

Julie Dolan: The big sister both chronologically and spiritually. Married for more than twenty years, the mother of two college-age sons, Julie and her family have moved eleven times, most recently to Bangkok, where she is an official "trailing spouse." She counts guilt and the desire to please as her biggest motivators.

Liz Dolan: The second oldest but the one with the most common sense. Liz climbed to the top of the corporate ladder, then chucked it all at age forty to get a life, only to discover that she's a workaholic. Liz's early retirement has yielded a radio show and commitments to several nonprofit organizations.

Sheila Dolan: She may be the middle sister, but Sheila's always been a little off-center, even by her own admission. She has worked as a principal in the New York City public school system and holds a BA and two master's degrees, all of which she charged on a now-defunct Visa. She one day hopes to own a cleaning service to satisfy her Irish washerwoman fantasy.

Monica Dolan: The second youngest, Monica, is a nurse and medical researcher who's worked in hospitals across the country. This career choice came as a surprise to her sisters, who relied on her more for a quick joke than a caring look.

Lian Dolan: The youngest sister, but also the sassiest-payback for putting up with years of teasing at the hands of older siblings. Lian is married and the mother of two young boys. She is currently juggling a nationally syndicated radio show and the delusion that she is a stay-at-home mom. She hopes to ride a Rose Parade float one day.
