By Beth Ann Fennelly '93 (W.W. Norton)
The
author brings her award-winning poetic sensibility to the letters she wrote to a friend about the
great mysteries, rewards, tribulations, terrors and, yes, innate silliness of the world of
motherhood. The stories and sisterly advice -- the pleasure of those food cravings; the "tricky
work/family balance" -- avoid sentimentality while offering "a tribute to friendship, particularly
the friendship between women that sustains, guides and comforts."
