PROBLEM: One of "bookdom's" absolute best reads! . This has got to be one of the most touching and powerful books I have ever read in all my 48 yrs as an avid reader.  For anyone who doubts that God takes broken people and makes masterpieces, this is a "must read".  To see the Hand of God weave these lives together and make a beautiful tapestry was a joy for me.  I have very few books that made me cry, but this one evoked every extreme emotion from me.  To top all that off, it is a true story.  An absolute pleasure and a cherished experience.

PROBLEM: strong family drama . In England though she recently broke up with her boyfriend, seventeen-year-old Charlotte feels good about herself and her future as she is doing well in school, lives in a relatively happy all female home, and seems adjusted.  That is until she learns she is pregnant.    Her mom Karen is a teacher's aide struggling with her mother Nan's mind slowly slipping away with the demands from that side already overwhelming. Her patience is over the edge when Charlotte informs her she is pregnant.  Upset and unable to contain her anger, Karen cannot believe that history has repeated itself because when she was sixteen she gave birth to Karen.  Though she loves her daughter all her dreams died with her birth.  She did marry the father but thankfully divorced that loser soon afterward.  As Nan drifts deeper into the past including insisting that she adopted Karen, the mentally exhausted sandwich generation is not sure what to do as Charlotte decides to give birth except to flee in search of her biological mother dreaming of a loving comforting welcome.    This fascinating character study is at its best when the audience sees deep inside the three generations with deep understanding of being an unwed mother, a child having a child, the sandwich generation, and the creeping of dementia (as well as a late stroke).  When the tale spins off into the biological mother twist it loses some of its depth until Karen returns to her "real" family.  Somewhat a soap opera, THE BAD MOTHER'S HANDBOOK is a strong family drama that focuses on the demands and responsibilities on women without men.    Harriet Klausner

PROBLEM: Great for me, but 40 years late . This is an execellent book. On the downside i'm 72 years old so i should have read this 40 years ago.   The author is clear & it's readable for most anyone.   However i think today's readers may find the material dated, with some cliche's that were probably very "hip" in the mid '60's. Yet today i beleive we can con verese with most anyone & arrive at these type mind games on our own without the need of a therapist.     If i were able to time travel back to the '60s, Woodstock, Timothy Leary,...& read this book with "that" mind-set, i would rate the book 5 big stars
