WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING
From PUBLISHER'S WEEKLY: Each of the contributors to this thought-provoking collection has terrific stories and wisdom to share, and they all do it masterfully. "Nobody is a perfect match and we have to accept that," writes Marge Piercy....NPR reporter Maria Hinojosa says, "I stay married because this is the one person who understands how to help make me into a better person."You might not agree with everyone's theories–Hannah Pine defends her choice to be a mother in an open marriage–but each one deals with the real problems, and pleasures, of marriage. As editor Trounstine puts it: "[m]arriage doesn't have the excitement of the illicit or the thrill of the daredevil. It's more like the quiet hum of the everyday and the occasional surprise of the sunset."
