A non fiction collection of short stories from Kris Radish's life as a mother, journalist and adventurer. Her job as a journalist has taken her all over the place and these stories are from those travels, her childhood and her personal life.
Kris Radish has an interesting life and the stories of her life were very interesting. I loved the juxtaposition of her being a mom and the personal stories to the professional ones where she is interacting with mothers who are in prison for various reasons. The content of her stories were entertaining.
The lack of chronology is probably the biggest thing that made me not fall in love with this book. I didn't love that her stories jumped all over the place; I didn't see a flow or reason as to their order and I wanted to find it so bad. As a random collection of short stories, it was fine, but it wasn't completely for me.
