"If We Are Women" by Joanna McClelland Glass is a veritable fugue for four voices on the bonds between mothers and daughters. Three generations of women gather on the deck of a beach house in Connecticut. One grandmother, Ruth, has flown, for the first time, from the Canadian prairie. She is an illiterate woman whose parents were homesteading pioneers. Her daughter Jessica is a successful novelist whose lover has died recently. The other grandmother, Rachel, is an unorthodox Jewish intellectual with a Master's degree. Strangely, all three share the same lament - they wanted a better education.

Polly, at eighteen, has no such regrets.
After staying out all night with a young man, she arrives on the scene to announce a reversal of plans. Now she wants to chuck her hard-earned scholarships and run off with this same young man to a ranch in Colorado.  The three older women attempt to steer Polly back to the straight and narrow by poignantly and humorously offering the hard-won wisdom from their own painful pasts. Of course Polly disregards everything they say, and the next thing, the young man is expected for dinner.  What’s to be done? Ruth, with her prairie wisdom wryly observes that "every time a kid is born, we start from zero." However, when the doorbell rings the older women are as full of girlish anticipation as Polly is and can’t wait to answer the door.

"In If We Are Women, Joanna Glass delivers enough humour, compassion and hope to touch everyone who sees it..
..The Globe & Mail

"IF WE ARE WOMEN is an oasis of insight and honesty."
