by Sue Dvorak (Author)
In this rollicking and poignant narrative about the beauty and mess of everyday parenting life in all its stages, readers are immersed in stories that reflect pieces of their own lives-perfect for fans of Anne Lamott's Operating Instructions and Jennifer Senior's All Joy and No Fun.
This is not a book about how to parent. Instead, this is a book about being one.
In a uniquely fresh and honest voice, Sue Dvorak-herself a mother of six grown children-captures the minute details and full emotional arc of parenthood. In essays, poetry and vignettes that are at once humorous and heartbreaking, Dvorak brings to life the many stages of parenting along with their accompanying joys and indignities, from babyhood to graduation and beyond, when roles reverse and adult children begin to care for their own aging parents.
Encompassing a full mosaic of the weird, joyous, banal, sickening and hilarious moments of everyday parenting life, Apparently celebrates the wonder of being a parent, growing and learning alongside your children.
This is what parenting feels like.
