If Elizabeth Ferguson had her way, she'd spend her days savoring good books, cooking great meals, and waiting for the love of her life to walk in the door. But it's not a man she's waiting for, it's her daughter, Rosie--her wild-haired, smart-mouthed, and wise-beyond-her-years alter ego. With Rosie around, the days aren't quite so long, but Elizabeth can't keep the realities of the world at bay, and try as she might, she can't shield Rosie from its dangers or mysteries. As Rosie grows older and more curious, Elizabeth must find a way to nurture her extraordinary daughter--even if it means growing up herself.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAnne Lamott\u003c\/b\u003e is the \u003ci\u003eNew York Times \u003c\/i\u003ebestselling author of \u003ci\u003eHelp, Thanks, Wow; Small Victories; Stitches\u003c\/i\u003e; \u003ci\u003eSome Assembly Required\u003c\/i\u003e; \u003ci\u003eGrace (Eventually)\u003c\/i\u003e; \u003ci\u003ePlan B\u003c\/i\u003e; \u003ci\u003eTraveling Mercies; Bird by Bird\u003c\/i\u003e; \u003ci\u003eOperating Instructions\u003c\/i\u003e, and the forthcoming \u003ci\u003eHallelujah Anyway\u003c\/i\u003e.
