I want to start to keep you updated on good books I am reading/have read.
Glass Castle by Jeannette Wells is excellent! It is a memoir so although I found it in the non-fiction section, it may very well fall in the category of Million Little Pieces (autobiographical fiction). It was recommended to me by my boss, Lisa Pennington. It is about her family growing up in various places, although her “formative years” were in WVa. It makes crazy look like Beaver Cleaver’s family. But as you will read on the reviews, you can tell as you read the story that she loves her parents and knows they did their best—even at their worst.
Great theme for me as I work on my step-mother skills, which some days seems like all out of a Cinderella fairy tale. Is there a fairy tale where the step mother is NOT wicked? THAT is the book I need to read.

Step-mother or mother will be the toughest challenge in life. Two lives, two personalities and one solution. It is very difficult and very rewarding at the same time.
Come on mom, there was nothing difficult about me! You must be talking about Biz.
Oh whatever! Brother, dear, I believe you have that one backwards!
