SOMEBODY'S ALWAYS HUNGRY is a collection of essays about life raising kids from birth to age five years old. Not the orderly, glossy parenting magazine view, but the bumpy-road perspective: how life slams from sixty m.p.h. to zero in those five to six pushes during labor, and becomes the ride of your life for the next five years (and counting) bringing up those babies. Join the ride as two tiny people slowly dismantle one mom's illusions (and accomplishments) with tiny imperceptible fingers, building her an entirely new life she didnt know she needed, usually made out of Cool Whip. But its okay. Because her heart also goes from one-person-sized to big enough to save a nation.
