    call number: 813.54/Lam

    This book is strong in story and language.

    Summary:
    This work of non-fiction is a single mother's truthful, humorous and sometimes painful journal of her baby's first year.

    I would recommend this book!

    Why?
    This is one of those books that will make you laugh and cry, sometimes at the same time. It isn't a very long book, and therefore a fairly quick read. I actually wish it wouldn't have ended when it did, since I wanted to know more of what happened to the different people mentioned.

    Other suggested reading:
  • Lamott is also a fiction writer. Some of her novels include Blue Shoe, Crooked Little Heart and Hard Laughter: A Novel.
