When I Married My Mother: A Daughter's Search for What Really Matters - and How She Found It Caring for Mama Jo

WHEN I MARRIED MY MOTHER, a national bestseller, is a you'll-laugh-you'll-cry love story that starts in the North, unfolds in the South and has captured hearts everywhere. Jo Maeder was a Z100 radio "ZJ" in New York City when a series of crises led her to do the unthinkable: leave New York for the Bible Belt -- "Greensboring," North Carolina -- to care for her estranged, eccentric "Mama Jo." What she thought would be some of the worst years of her life turned out to be some of the best. The same was true for her mother. Jo also discovered there's nothing boring about Greensboro. Though often rocky, this "marriage" was a triumphant success, leading Jo to repair a long-fractured family and find a new and vibrant life she never imagined. 

Bonus material in the paperback and ebook includes an author Q&A, Mama Jo's Favorite Cookie award-winning recipe, caregiving tips, discussion questions, and links to the book trailer and short film "The Doll Dilemma" by Jacob Rosdail. Readers rave it's a hard to put down story for all; essential for anyone dealing with an aging parent.
