Sunshine in my Pocket

By Jennifer French

If youre looking for a kidnapping, tales of abandonment, brainwashing, or being sold into an underground slave trade, dont read this book.This is a memoir of a normal family. Sunshine in my Pocket reads like a good conversation with an old friend as debut author Jennifer French shares all the quirks, annoyances, and sometimes sadness of her life as the daughter of Margaret, a forty-something stay-at-home mom, and John, an even older truck driver.The story, which covers everything from cervical cancer to an earless cow, reads as smoothly as any novel. So smoothly, in fact, that readers will find themselves revisiting their own childhood and growing up alongside Jennifer, themselves.Sunshine in my Pocket is not a "tell-all," nor is it a seemingly endless rant about a dysfunctional upbringing.Instead, Sunshine dares to dive into something deeper: real life.Mostly happy, never normal (because really- what is?), but always real, Sunshine in my Pocket is a tribute the the ordinary and the extraordinary in the lives of every day people.
