Back Cover: "Thi is the true story of a wife and mother who learned how to cope with the crippling of her husband, the deaths of two sons, and the homosexuality of a third." I think this book is a testament to all of humankind because of its inspiring nature. This woman never gave up despite the innundations of tragedy in her life.
When I read the title before I purchased it, I thought it would be a book of frivoloty, of humor about being a mother. Instead it has mesmerized, inspired and taught me that if you persevere and and have faith in yourself and in your higher power "whatever that is" (to this woman it is God) you will be successful in your hardest challenges. I couldn't put this book down. Her ability to express in minute detail the ravages her mind went through while simultaneously dealing with her everyday life and duties as friend, sister, wife, mother and all those role a woman must fulfill in today's society is amazing.
