What They're Saying
Critics Review
“Take Erma Bombeck, add the obsession of a single mother with two boys… and you have Marion Winik, as companionable writer as a crazed parent ever found.”- The New York Times Book Review
“Marion Winik proves as able a bard for her generation as Erma Bombeck was for hers… Funny, warmhearted, and chock-full of moments of instant recognition.”- Newsday
”[H]ilarious and wrenching, it’s about being a parent, but it’s also about so much more: love, survival, transcendence—and macaroni and cheese.“- Anne Lamott, author of Operating Instructions
