Status Updates From When You Were Mine

No matter how charmed someone’s life looks on the outside, on the inside everyone is messy and uncertain and afraid. Everyone needs help. Everyone holds possibility.

“You might be worried about your kids, Ally, and how complicated the relationships feel, but speaking from the other side, I know that all you really need to do is be there for them.” I hear the throb of emotion in my voice, but I don’t care. “Just be there. Show up—again and again, even when they mess up big time. And they will.”

This book surprised me. It was a good heartfelt book! Really enjoyed the characters and the empowerment from the two moms coming together at the end!
