Everyone Is Beautiful: A Novel by Katherine Center

This is a very interesting story about the life of Lanie Coates, a wife and young mother of 3 small children. The story centers around the families move from Houston, Texas to Cambridge, Ma. to support her husbands music career. This is a great story that I feel can be very relatable to young mothers trying to balance the responsibilities and demands of raising 3 young children, keeping a marriage strong and trying not to loose yourself in the process. One of the biggest changes for her with the move is that she moved away from her family and her support system. So now she is in a small cramped apartment trying to stay sane while her husband is busy with all of his work. The story takes us through many believable transitions as Lanie searches to achieve the balance she craves. This is a great book that I would recommend, strongly, to young mothers and wives who are going through some of these same situations.
