The Gift of an Ordinary Day: A Mother’s Memoir

Wise words from a mother in the midst of teenage transitions and a looming empty nest. Kenison reminds us to cherish the ordinary moments in life. From the publisher: "The Gift of an Ordinary Day is an intimate memoir of a family in transition-boys becoming teenagers, careers ending and new ones opening up, an attempt to find a deeper sense of place, and a slower pace, in a small New England town. It is a story of mid-life longings and discoveries, of lessons learned in the search for home and a new sense of purpose, and the bittersweet intensity of life with teenagers--holding on, letting go."
