Sandwich

Sandwich

by Catherine Newman

With humor and honesty, this book describes the love, anxiety, joy, and self-doubt that come with motherhood and marriage. The story is told by Rocky during her family's annual vacation week on Cape Cod with her husband, young adult daughter, son and his girlfriend, and, later, her aging parents. With laugh-out-loud passages as well as serious reflection of how deeply she loves her children, she reflects on choices made through her life and the strangeness of the empty nest.
