In Katherine Center's second novel she tackles the concepts of beauty and identity after marriage and motherhood. Elena is the mother of three rambunctious boys and married to Peter, the classical composer and pianist. "Lanie", as she is called, is uprooted and trying to survive after a move from Houston to Cambridge, Mass. She's starting to realize that she isn't sure who she is anymore and when a fellow mother asks the non-pregnant Lanie when she is due, something flips inside her. Through very realistic and graphic (poop, vomit, and other bodily fluids abound) language, Center and Lanie convey the upside-down feeling of being a young mother and wife and trying to remember who "you" really is. Lanie is portrayed with enough of an combination of innocence, sarcasm and desperation that even those who've never experienced child-rearing will be able to connect with her. Along the way we find that marriage after children is constant work, general hygiene may not always be a priority in life, and that it is the mistakes, the "should-haves" that make each person unique and beautiful and that love finds a way, regardless of outward-seeming circumstances. I would definitely recommend this and Center's first book "The Bright Side of Disaster", as must-reads for all my female friends and maybe even some male friends for insight into the human and female condition of life and love.
