false 12536 4 In Anne Lamott's wise and witty novel, the growing pains of motherhood are portrayed with rare humor and honesty. If Elizabeth Ferguson had her way, she'd spend her days savoring good books, cooking great meals, and waiting for the love of her life to walk in the door. But it's not a man she's waiting for, it's her daughter, Rosie—her wild-haired, smart-mouthed, and wise-beyond-her-years alter ego. With Rosie around, the days aren't quite so long, but Elizabeth can't keep the realities of the world at bay, and try as she might, she can't shield Rosie from its dangers or mysteries. As Rosie grows older and more curious, Elizabeth must find a way to nurture her extraordinary daughter—even if it means growing up herself. 14829 1983 Rosie total:869|5:170|4:323|3:274|2:78|1:24| 869 3144 1118 83 3 0 false false Thu Aug 27 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Thu Aug 27 10:41:58 -0700 2009 Thu Aug 27 10:50:44 -0700 2009 more...]]> 3 0 false false Sat Aug 01 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Sat Aug 22 11:35:09 -0700 2009 Sat Aug 22 11:38:45 -0700 2009 more...]]> 3 0 false false Mon Aug 03 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Tue Aug 04 17:13:16 -0700 2009 Sat Aug 15 14:25:56 -0700 2009 more...]]> 0 0 false false Wed Oct 21 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Wed Oct 21 07:54:07 -0700 2009 Sun Oct 25 20:20:02 -0700 2009 more...]]> 5 0 false false Fri Feb 01 00:00:00 -0800 2008 Thu Feb 21 08:27:34 -0800 2008 Thu Mar 13 09:20:35 -0700 2008 more...]]> 5 0 false false Sat Aug 01 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Wed Jul 01 16:31:44 -0700 2009 Sat Aug 01 10:13:31 -0700 2009 more...]]> 5 0 false false Thu Jan 22 12:12:33 -0800 2009 Thu Jan 22 12:16:21 -0800 2009 1 0 false false Sun Jul 12 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Sat Jul 11 14:47:27 -0700 2009 Mon Jul 13 21:58:51 -0700 2009 4 0 true false Sun Mar 01 00:00:00 -0800 2009 Sun Mar 29 08:29:09 -0700 2009 Sun Mar 29 08:39:56 -0700 2009 4 0 false false Tue Aug 25 12:36:55 -0700 2009 Tue Aug 25 12:40:02 -0700 2009 3 0 false false Thu Jan 01 00:00:00 -0800 2009 Wed Jun 17 10:55:19 -0700 2009 Wed Jun 17 10:55:19 -0700 2009 4 0 false false Tue Jan 01 00:00:00 -0800 2008 Thu Jan 22 10:47:13 -0800 2009 Thu Jan 22 10:47:13 -0800 2009 4 0 false false Sun Jun 08 00:00:00 -0700 2008 Wed Jun 04 20:32:12 -0700 2008 Sun Jun 08 20:19:50 -0700 2008
