"Normally Dysfunctional" - the title of the first piece in this collection - summarizes what families are all about. Contrary to Tolstoy, every family - happy or sad - resembles every other. Family Recipe, a potpourri of short stories, essays and poems, contains something to bring a memory and a smile to every reader's heart. Theresa Hupp is an award winning author from Kansas City.
