Search - Bad Mother: A Chronicle of Maternal Crimes, Minor Calamities, and Occasional Moments of Grace

I wanted to like this book much more than I actually did like it. Although I found it to be well-written and alternately funny and heart-wrenching, I couldn't get past the feeling that the author is kind of a snob. It seemed like there were little digs on every other page, "Oh, since you don't live in Berkeley, you wouldn't understand" or "Oh, since you aren't married to a Pulitzer Prize winning husband, it's too hard to explain." Ultimately, then, this book left kind of a bad taste in my midwestern, non-Pulitzer winning mouth.
