This is a rich and candid account of one woman's struggle to be a parent. About to turn 50, Carol is asked to take in and raise her partner Gemma's six-year-old niece. Unwilling then resentful, the author ultimately triumphs over adversity, and tells her story with tenderness, humour, and blunt honesty. She skillfully handles the topics of midlife crises, substance abuse, and the day-to-day problems of child-rearing.
