Food and Whine

Simon & Schuster 1998

Writing about the year in which her twins were born, her mother was diagnosed with cancer, and her husband decided to change careers, Moses regales readers with funny anecdotes and gut-wrenchingly true pictures of the chaos and joys of family life. Capturing the essence of motherhood today in all of its complexities and contradictions, this true-to-life story dares to say out loud what moms secretly think. Part cookbook, part parenting book, and part confessional, Food and Whine is, most of all, laugh-out-loud funny.
