Title: It's A Lose-Lose
Review: This book spoke to me because I have been in a sort of standoff with my son's girlfriend for a few years now when I consider myself to be a most tolerant and accepting person! She's not his wife (yet) but still this book, with its descriptions of very raw exchanges between the mother-in-law and her son's wife, was valuable. It caused me to evaluate my own situation in a new way (though no solution suddenly came to me) and reflect on myself and my own words and actions in a very awkward and wrenching situation. A standoff with any family member is always a lose-lose and the most valuable thing that's lost is time spent together. The two women at war in this book are depicted in very realistic language and I found myself cheering both of them on to a resolution which comes about in a most surprising way for them. This book is a testament to both human flaws and human triumph!
