EVERYONE IS BEAUTIFUL

Lanie Coates, a stay-at-home mom with three children under the age of 5, moves from Houston to Cambridge with her husband. Kirsten Potter narrates this story of child-rearing and friendship in a bright, clear voice full of emotion. As Lanie adjusts to her new home, she also seeks meaning in her life. As the author provides insights into the hectic days of a mother with more children than hands, an over-busy husband, and new friends, Potter ably disappears into Lanie's character, fully engaged in this story of everyday life. Halfway through the novel, Lanie discovers photography, and the story takes off along with her. M.B.K. © AudioFile 2009, Portland, Maine [Published: AUGUST 2009]
