The characters and plot of this book will definitely appeal to moms with young kids. But the book’s preoccupation with what makes a life meaningful also ensures that it would be a worthwhile read for any woman or man mulling over how to live a life of significance while navigating through the everyday maze of needy people and duty-filled circumstances.
Hinck’s skill with language (Being a mother was all about triage....The rapid ballet of the diaper change.... A grind of gears and a lurching timpani rhythm warned me. The washing machine was throwing another tantrum) and her comedic timing in telling this modern parable will delight anyone who enjoys good writing.
All that to say, don’t miss this supermom saga. It’s due to be released in June 2006.
