Making “fools” of readers.

Kelley Will Write for ChocolateSo, okay. Here’s the deal. I made an enormous fool of myself, and it’s entirely Sarah Moffett’s fault. I brought this book to my son’s medical appointments and read it while trapped in numerous waiting rooms. I actually made heads turn and drew the wrath of the receptionists. What did I do? Well, first, I guffawed (All I’ll say is it involves square dancing and a suitor sporting Underoos. ) Then, I shrieked. (What does she mean chocolate isn’t her favorite food?) And finally, I wept. Loudly. It wasn’t pretty. Nope, it wasn’t pretty at all and it almost got me escorted out. It was, however, well worth it.GROWING UP MOFFETT is funny, sweet, funny, tender, funny, absolutely heartbreaking, and did I say funny? My heart broke for this young girl and it cheered for the young woman she becomes. But more importantly I walked away thinking about what we do for those we love, and how it changes us all. So yes, it was definitely worth it.
