I Thought I Grew Up is a story of coming of age again. As author Michelle Churchill approached her fiftieth birthday, she found herself careening into menopause. Suddenly, she could think of nothing but men-about their legs, the hair on their bodies, how their hands would feel holding hers. She had an ever-present desire to have male contact in any way she could.

So, how does a single woman living in New York City accomplish that male closeness? Michelle turned to her computer, the only thing she had a true relationship with over the last 10 years. Signing up for every on-line dating service she could find and attempting to date the entire Eastern Seaboard, Michelle tells her story through a series of dates.

Penned with a sense of humor, I Thought I Grew Up will keep you laughing through the tears. While discovering that sex was the best cure for hot flashes, she also uncovers secrets she had hidden from herself. Her dating life has taught her to live life with integrity and to better understand what love really is.

"Told in a deliciously irreverent, breezy and self-deprecating voice, Michelle Churchill's reflections on life, menopause and the search for Mr. Right is brazenly frank, laugh-out-loud funny and surprisingly moving."
-Arthur Wooten, Author of the novels On Picking Fruit and Fruit Cocktail
