Review Detail

Reader reviewed by Alexandra

This book follows the life of Roxanne Milner, from age 12 to mid-thirties. We watch grow up from a baseball-playing kid to a mother of a six-year-old. We watch her play, date, go to college, get married, and have a child. We empathize with her during life-shattering events, as well as cheer her on through mundane ones. This book is a great story about the life of a girl, and it shows that, sorry, you do grow up to be your mother. There are also recipes added in the back for the aspiring chefs among you.
