The themes of marriage and parenting and finding balance as a woman were very similar to those in Is This All There Is? but the storyline went in a different, very interesting direction, which I loved reading about. When I realized Unexpecting was a sequel, I was thrilled to get a glimpse of the future of the main character from Momnesia, who I felt so connected to. The "unexpected" twists and turns of Unexpecting had me captivated and wondering what I would do if I found myself in that situation! Your books are so well written and honest, I can't wait for more!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07900970745717158983noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-876932805370698025.post-41257768005307626482013-06-26T09:26:18.313-05:002013-06-26T09:26:18.313-05:00Thanks Patricia!

I too enjoyed "In Need of Therapy" so much that I actually wrote it down for a reader at my own book launch event!<br /><br />As for "Is This All There Is," I can honestly say that it was one of the best books I've read... ever! And I read a lot of books. The way Patricia Mann describes married life and presents the dilemmas in a way that is so real, truly brings a sense of camaraderie to any woman who has found herself in the stalemate stage of marriage/parenting!<br /><br />I highly recommend it, and enjoyed reading your personal tidbits above!Lori Verni-Fogarsihttp://www.loritheauthor.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-876932805370698025.post-53513867576134974932013-06-25T10:52:47.366-05:002013-06-25T10:52:47.366-05:00Sheri, thank you so much for the wonderful intervi...Sheri, thank you so much for the wonderful interview questions and for always being so kind and helpful!!!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07900970745717158983noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-876932805370698025.post-71708752326896752532013-06-25T10:51:25.797-05:002013-06-25T10:51:25.797-05:00PS, Tracie, so sorry for misspelling your last nam...PS, Tracie, so sorry for misspelling your last name!!!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07900970745717158983noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-876932805370698025.post-17911602877214860302013-06-25T10:50:33.663-05:002013-06-25T10:50:33.663-05:00Tracie, I finished In Need of Therapy and can'...Tracie, I finished In Need of Therapy and can't wait to write my five star review!
