Jennifer Weiner Knihy

Spisovateľka Candace Krushelevanská v mladosti napísala autobiografickú knihu, v ktorej si vyliala zlosť na otca, lebo ju v detstve ponižoval, aj na bývalého milenca, ktorý ju opustil, keď zistila, že s ním čaká dieťa. Vlastný príbeh podfarbila vymyslenými sexuálnymi scénami, a práve vďaka nim sa z jej knihy stal svetový bestseller. Pre ňu bolo písanie knihy istou očistou, nerátala však s tým, že raz sa dostane do rúk jej dospievajúcej dcéry, a tá sa v nej dočíta, že mama ju vôbec nechcela, hoci celý život tvrdila, že je vytúžené dieťa... Trinásťročná Joy hľadá odpovede na rozličné otázky, a keď sa jedného dňa dozvie, že jej mama a nevlastný otec chcú mať ďalšie dieťa, uvedomí si, že tentoraz to bude naozaj vytúžené dieťa, na rozdiel od nej, a rozhodne sa utiecť z domu k svojmu starému otcovi. Vtipné, humorné scény z rodinného života presahujú do vážnych otázok: Je rozdiel medzi tým, čo spisovateľka vloží do knihy, a tým, čo skutočne prežíva? Ako prežívajú deti ľúbostný život svojich rodičov? Nájde si nešťastná matka-spisovateľka cestu k svojej dcére, ktorá ju odmieta? Kniha Jennifer Weinerovej je určená matkám, ktoré nechápu, prečo sa k nim dospievajúce deti zrazu správajú odmietavo. Pri jej čítaní si možno uvedomia, že všetko potrebuje svoj čas, deti vyrastú a nakoniec ocenia, čo pre ne znamená rodinné zázemie.
