MEET ME AT EMOTIONAL BAGGAGE CLAIM 

by Lisa Scottoline and Francesca Serritella

We all have baggage just make sure yours is on wheels!

I have long held to the claim that even though you deny it, everyone has baggage.  We carry around and cannot get rid of regardless of how hard we try and boy do we try really hard.  We have childhood issues we never resolved, guilt we project very effectively, and daily insanity we just have to deal with regardless of how much we try not to.

In this story Lisa Scottoline and her daughter Francesca Serritella both famed writers in their own right join forces to tell, the stories that have made them stronger are mother and daughter.  The thoughts are well documented with an honesty that at times will have you cringe knowing “I have done that.”  The relationship between parent and child is a tight rope of life altering decisions then letting go, it is not easy.  As Lisa and her daughter, Francesca lay out the road map of their life each reveals the bumps and huge potholes that went along with getting to where they are now.

What I adored about this book was the fact that both mother and daughter write about how imperfect individuals live in a world surrounded by perfect people.  These people are not perfect but they appear to be which is Lisa’s point at times “perception is reality” so go with the flow.

Thanks for being such great writers and showing readers a little touch of your personal fun side.
