Three women, strangers, set out for a writers' course in Paris. Ruth: 'To ponder a pestering dilemma through writing: Is it possible to enjoy a personal relationship at this stage of life, or will I devote my country life to tending my French garden, reading and writing? What must be compromised?

Kaye: 'To spend time on creative writing, something I always wanted to do. It was a hidden desire. Something deep within me knew that if I wanted to write, I needed to go to Paris.'

Vicki: 'Travelling to Paris was an escape, an opportunity to be me without obligations as a mother, daughter, wife or friend. To be alone with myself.'

They found much more and became the Rue Berger Writers. These letters are a testament to the power of the pen, women, and friendship.

Reviews for Living Out Loud

""Wonderful musings from the three writers; streams of consciousness on occasions; reminiscing about everything under the sun. I learned a lot about all manner of things. I loved the opening up, the disclosures, the conflicts, and getting to know these interesting women. Memoir with a difference."" Margie ""Women actually go to Paris for writing! I found it entertaining and interesting to share the world of three intelligent, perceptive writers whose goal is to develop and nurture a continuing friendship in the face of disappointment during the pandemic.""
