An Iridescent Life, Essays on Motherhood and Stepmotherhood

ByMarcelle Soviero

At a time when American mothers are being shunned for doing everything wrong, the essays in An Iridescent Life celebrate the perfectly imperfect lives of an everyday mom/step-mom trying to raise kids without a guaranteed guidebook and with rules that seem to keep changing at every step along the way. Can you be the perfect mom with a husband, 5 children, and two ex-spouses? In these often poignant, sometimes humorous and always honest personal stories the ups and downs of motherhood and stepmotherhood are recollected and crafted into short keepsakes for the reader. Written by an award-winning essayist and mother of three children and two stepchildren, readers will enjoy following the lives of this blended family in short tales that range from meeting a stepson-to-be for the first time, to watching a daughter go to her first high school dance, to hosting the bat mitzvah party for the ex-husband’s family.
