With the same brilliant combination of humor and warmth she brought to bestseller Bird by Bird , Anne Lamott gives us a smart, funny, and comforting chronicle of single motherhood. -- Chicago Tribune.
Anyone who has ever had a hard time facing a perfectly ordinary day will identify. -- Los Angeles Times Book Review Lamott is a wonderfully lithe writer ....
Lamott has a conversational style that perfectly conveys her friendly, self-depricating humor.
From finding out that her baby is a boy (and getting used to the idea) to finding out that her best friend and greatest supporter Pam will die of cancer (and not getting used to that idea), with a generous amount of wit and faith (but very little piousness), Lamott narrates the great and small events that make up a woman\'s life.

On her own.
At thirty-five.
It\'s not like she\'s the only woman to ever have a baby.
