<p><b>¿Davies'' collection of essays soars.... It''s a memoir that locates the profound within the ordinary.¿ </b><b>¿<i>Entertainment Weekly</i></b><br><br>If you¿re looking for a typical parenting book, this is not it. This is not a treatise on how to be a mother.<br><br>This is a book about a young girl who moves to a new town every couple of years; a misfit teenager who finds solace in a local music scene; an adrift twenty-something who drops out of college to pursue her dream of making cheesecake on a stick a successful business franchise (ah, the ideals of youth). Alone in a new city, she summons her inner strength as she holds the hand of a dying stranger. Davies is a woman who finds humor in difficult pregnancies and post-partum depression (after reading ¿Pie¿ you might never eat Thanksgiving dessert the same way). She is a divorcee who unexpectedly finds second love. She is a happily married suburban wife who nevertheless makes a mental list of all the men she would have slept
