[QUOTE="TerryJ2, post: 433267, member: 3419"] I just finished reading [B]The Best Kind of Different[/B], and what I looked for was similarities and how the issues were handled. I was cheering when Shonda admitted to spanking and yelling. "She's normal!" I thought. :) I know exactly how she felt (as do we all) when people stared at her and her son in public when he was raging. But I don't have the reputation to uphold. ;) I have to say, she's a bit too sunshiny for me ... but maybe she has to put that spin on it, the "almost" happily ever after attitude because of who they are. Maybe it was just her writing style that was sunshiny, come to think of it, because both she and her son ended up on medications. ;) Anyway, I would read it, Steely. It will not be like your book but it will give you an idea of what they went through and how one person had arranged the chapters and events. It was very easy to read, fwiw. It flowed easily.
