Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

At forty-two, Mary Cherry's body stopped listening to her. She tripped on flat ground, lost words mid-sentence, watched her hair gather in the sink and woke at three in the morning drenched, heart racing, certain something was terribly wrong. Her marriage had just collapsed. Her stomach stopped digesting food for almost a year. Doctor after doctor said the same thing: "Everything is normal."It wasn't. It was perimenopause, and nobody had told her.At the very same time, her twelve-year-old daughter got her first period. Two women under one roof, at opposite ends of the same road. That's when Mary understood: this was puberty. Only in reverse.Honest, funny, sometimes furious and always carefully researched, 3 A.M. is the book she wishes she had been holding on those sleepless nights. Inside you'll discover: - why fatigue, brain fog and digestive trouble can be more common than hot flushes, according to a 2026 study of over 17,000 women- how stress, heartbreak and antidepressants can turn up the volume on hormonal change- 5,000 years of silence, from the "wandering womb" to the sanitary pad invented for soldiers- the truth about hormone therapy, bioidentical creams and the new non-hormonal treatments- sex, rage, divorce, the mirror, and what comes after- exactly what to say when your doctor tells you "it's just your age"If you're awake at 3 a.m. searching your symptoms again, this book is for you. You're not going mad. You're not alone. And this is not the end of you.
