Some time ago, I couldn't resist blogging about a book entitled, "Best Friends, Occasional Enemies," co-authored by mother and daughter, Lisa Scottoline and Francesca Scottoline Serritella, respectively. The authors write a column known as "Chick Wit" for The Philadelphia Inquirer. Ms. Scottoline is a New York Times best selling author and her daughter, Francesca, has been honored with numerous writing awards.
I just finished reading another great book by the mother/daughter duo. "My Nest Isn't Empty, It Just Has More Closet Space: The Amazing Adventures of an Ordinary Woman," is a tell-all odyssey of three generations of women who will win your hearts and bring you to tears of laughter. The book is a compilation of essays written by Scottoline, the mother who lives on a farm, and Serritella, the daughter who is living single in New York.
My favorite chapter involved Ms. Scottoline taking inventory as to what she could do to best update her home. After a long and dutiful inspection, she decided that what her home most needed was new SHOES AND HANDBAGS! A woman after my own heart! Grandma Mary has her own "style," namely a white lab coat (although she is retired and has never worked in the medical profession) and, to everyone's chagrin, a bra which she has been wearing for 30 years.
This is an ideal gift for grandmothers, mothers and daughters who want a roller-coaster ride of fun reading.
