The book was easy to get into and even easier to keep on reading. Rowe has a humorous and comfortable approach to her storytelling and brings the reader right into her stories. It didn't hurt any that she was writing about a time that was just a few years behind the years when I grew up. I could relate.
The stories follow a timeline and take you through her younger years and into her adult years all the while illustrating her maturing relationship with her mother. Who hasn't cringed the first time Mom came to dinner? Add to that stress setting the chimney on fire and not allowing enough time for the roast to cook. The stories go on and the chuckles continue. It's an uplifting journey through a mother/daughter relationship spanning a few decades.
Great book for a light read and lots of smiles. So glad my son picked it out--no matter what the reason.
