Day by Day

By Delia Parr

Book Overview

The modern world crashed into their lives like a hurricane. Barbara lost her son, a single dad, to senseless violence. Judy's daughter fell into a black hole of addiction. Ginger's youngest girl threw away motherhood for the dazzle of money, status and materialism. And the grandmothers were left to pick up the pieces.... Miraculously, they found one another, a mismatched trio of middle-aged women with almost no history in common, yet with so much to share. They wept, raged, grieved and prayed together and discussed their practical problems, deepest fears and loftiest dreams. In the end, through their circle of friendship, they found wisdom, strength and courage--and rediscovered the true meaning of their faith.

Day by Day ~ Reviewed

A timely novel for grandmothers raising grandchildren, but more than that, it's a great read. Day by Day is a heartwarming story of three women, dreaming of the day they retire and how they'll spend those years. But each of their lives gets interrupted and dreams are put aside. Parr deals with the subject with honesty, not hiding the real emotions these women go through. A grandmother myself, I was able to relate to one or the other of these characters all the way through. And I love the characters she develops. They're all such different personalities if they hadn't the commonality of grandchildren, they would never have become friends. That's one of the things that makes this book work so well. I'm not going to talk about the plot, but simply tell you to get the book. Parr writes wonderful stories that captivate and hold you spellbound until you turn the last page. She has jumped to my five favorite authors list. If you love Deborah Raney, Robin Lee Hatcher, Sally John or Roxanne Henke, you'll love Delia Parr. This reviewer gives Day by Day a high recommendation. Reviewed by Ane Mulligan [...].
