The gift of an ordinary day : a mother's memoir

 by Katrina Kenison. In this uplifting narrative of midlife and mothering, former Best American Short Stories editor Kenison inspires those going through their own midlife upheavals to savor each moment of family life, the ordinary moments that can be so fulfilling if we are wholly present. In the wake of lost jobs, put-off dreams, changing relationships with her mate, and the trials of mothering teenage boys, Kenison manages to stay sane by doing just that. A lovely memoir, of special interest to women struggling with midlife issues. --Library Journal (Check Catalog)
