by Anne Lamott [306.871 Lam]
This is a great story of a first time mother who has fought off some personal demons. Now, she takes on single motherhood in a diary format and shares her struggles and triumphs. The raw emotion expressed makes you empathize and celebrate every milestone. It is a nice change from a parenting book where everything goes so perfectly. Life is messy, and Lamott managed to wrap up the first year of her son's life in an appealing package. [If you enjoy this, you may also wish to try Some Assembly Required: A Journal of My Son's First Son, also by Lamott.] -- recommended by Sarah J. - South Branch Library
