Somebody's Always Hungry

"It is rare to read a book that sneaks up on you so much. SOMEBODY’S ALWAYS HUNGRY is so funny so much of the time that the moment that tears fill your eyes comes as a complete surprise. It’s all like memory gone crazy. You don’t have to be a mother to be touched by these children. You’ll remember if you are a grandmother or a father or an aunt or a brother or even if you’re an only child of only parents with no children of your own. You’ll remember.

"Juliet Johnson is not a perfect parent...she never claims to be. She makes it okay to not do it right all the time. She makes it okay to be normal. She leads with her heart (sometimes counter to her brain) and her kids soar as a result. They learn to trust their own hearts – which appears to be, when the book is finished and you have time to think about their wonderful spirits, the definition of good parenting.

"Her book feeds the spirit."
