From the author of our bestselling book, The First Forty Days, comes Second Spring, a gentle, nurturing guide for women entering or going through perimenopause, filled with advice and recipes for supporting their bodies’ adjusting needs
Perimenopause isn’t an ending-it’s a rebirth into wisdom. Heng Ou’s fourth book, Second Spring, reframes this life stage as a vibrantly renewing opportunity, offering women a practical, soulful road map into their next era of strength and wisdom. Drawing on nourishing food traditions, holistic practices, and deeply personal reflection, Ou guides readers through the emotional and physical shifts of midlife with compassion and clarity. She encourages a meaningful self-inventory to reveal what’s changing, what’s needed, and what’s possible. From embracing transformation to reconnecting with your truest self, Ou’s steady insight blends ancient teachings with modern wellness wisdom. Second Spring shows women not only how to navigate perimenopause with grace, but how to step boldly into the energizing, purposeful future that awaits.
