Ragged Circle
One Woman's Odyssey...
The family may be the prime circle,
but it's not perfect...Forty-year-old Malena is about to give birth to her ninth child. She loves her family and her LDS culture, but she is also an artist. Will there ever be an opportunity to develop her special talents? The rebellious teenage daughter only complicates the picture. And the husband's freedom to develop his talents, and his demanding church calling as bishop only exacerbate the problem. The message of Ragged Circle is one of comfort. For women who may struggle to feel fulfillment as a wife and mother, here is a bone-deep story that not only tells it like it really is, but assures every family-exhausted woman that she is not alone.

Loved the concept of this book - the questions and struggles the main character had. My problem with it was that she was very old fashioned - it seemed like a book written in the 70's, rather than the 21st century, so I couldn't relate to her as much as I would have liked and wanted to.
