For a real-life depiction of what it’s like to go back to school as a working mom, read my essay titled “A Degree or Diapers?” in Chicken Soup for the Soul – BE YOU! (2021). Now, if you are looking for a light-hearted story, you will enjoy my humorous essay about the summer I hitchhiked through the desert with my grandmother. It’s titled “The Jackpot” in Chicken Soup for the Soul – My Amazing Mom (2018). Both books are available on Amazon and at other retailers.
