The Interruption of Everything
I actually listened to this book on tape, and it was great! It was written by an African American woman, and narrated by one, and she made it fun to listen to!
It's about a woman who takes care of everyone, husband, kids, mother-in-law, sister and nieces and nephews. She has many interruptions in her life, including twin sons in college, one with girlfriend, one in band and changing majors; husband going through midlife crisis; mother at initial stages of alzheimers; sister on drugs and threatened with jail time; live in mother-in-law with new boyfriend. It goes on and on. Much of this is comical and though it sounds 'heavy', it's not.
In the end Marilyn realizes she needs to find time for herself.
Good read.
