BOOK OF THE MONTH
Learning to Fly by Roxanne Henke
Where did the time go?
Laugh and cry as you remember and anticipate every stage of motherhood, from newborn nights, toddler tales and first days of school to driver’s licenses, curfews, the dating game and the sudden shock of graduation.
Two friends, Susan and JoJo, observe, struggle and attempt to document every stage of their daughters’ lives. Like most of us, they second guess themselves and how they’re doing as parents, as wives, as friends and with what their new identities should be.
It always ends up being about wings and roots, doesn’t it? When do you ground them and when do you let go to watch them soar, cheering them on? Read this poignant and realistic celebration.
