In Anne Lamottâs wise and witty novel, the growing pains of motherhood are portrayed with rare humor and honesty. If Elizabeth Ferguson had her way, sheâd spend her days savoring good books, cooking great meals, and waiting for the love of her life to walk in the door. But itâs not a man sheâs waiting for, itâs her daughter, Rosieâher wild-haired, smart-mouthed, and wise-beyond-her-years alter ego. With Rosie around, the days arenât quite so long, but Elizabeth canât keep the realities of the world at bay, and try as she might, she canât shield Rosie from its dangers or mysteries. As Rosie grows older and more curious, Elizabeth must find a way to nurture her extraordinary daughterâeven if it means growing up herself.
The story of indomitable nine year-old Rosie Ferguson and her mother, Elizabeth, who leans unsteadily over the edge of malaise and alcoholism.
