Blue Shoe by Anne Lamott. Riverhead Books, a division of Penguin Books, 2002. Adult fiction. Californian Mattie Ryder, mother of Harry and Ella, has moved back into her family home. Her ex husband, Nicky, is still around at times. Her mother, Isa, lives not far away. The narrative explores Mattie's friends, family, inner life, church life, and generally EVERYTHING about Mattie, her past, present, and future.
This book has been in my stack to read for a long time. Maybe it just took a freeze for everything to shut down and for me to pick it up. Somehow, the book was just the ticket to realize that things could always be worse!
