This collection of essays written in the 1980s and 90s about the childrearing escapades of the author, reveals the challenges faced by the authors while raising her only-child son.
Sometimes, funny, sometimes sad, occasionally tragic and often embarrassing, it gives the read pause to consider the less obvious side-effects of the personal process associated with guiding a human being through childhood to adulthood while maintaining (or not) one's sanity.
