Navigating Modern Parenting In Fiction And In Fact (Tom Ashbrook, On Point)

Parenthood can be pretty crazy these days. From birth right through the ride to teen-dom. The juggling. Of kids. Job. School. Dreams. Relationships. And these days, meds and expectations of perfection, unmet. Make it single parenthood, single motherhood, and it all just gets a little wilder. Debut novelist Eileen Curtwright finds the crazy humor in the madness in her new book, “The Burned Bridges of Ward, Nebraska.” Small town. A mom on the edge. Plenty, ready to judge. And liberating, hilarious honesty on it all. This hour On Point, modern family, cut loose. — Tom Ashbrook
