Home -- TRC Weblog Archives -- Search -- Contact Us -- ** Discuss Three Ring Circus **   Thursday, February 05, 2004 The TRC galleys are making the rounds and people are beginning to send us their comments for the back cover of the book. In the publishing industry they call these "blurbs." Al Martinez, columnist for the Los Angeles Times, has some wonderful things to say about Three Ring Circus. "I love this book. Wit, compassion and good advice emerge from the essays of individuals and couples caught up in a new world of working women, single parents, stay-at-home fathers and children whose demands seem to grow at an inverse ratio to the time available. I come from a generation less complicated, when men worked and the wives stayed home, and I’ve learned from the stories contained herein just how difficult today’s domestic balancing act has become. Pursuing a career is a full-time job in itself. Add to it a marriage that needs constant tending and children whose futures lie in your hands and you’ve got a three-ring circus that features you as juggler, high-wire walker, lion tamer and clown. There’s hardly time for sex. Rosanne Welch and Dawn Comer Jefferson have done a magnificent job compiling essays from real people who laugh, cry, bitch and love in an often exhausting effort to make life work for them. Compassion and humor are essential ingredients in that quest. When properly applied, they represent a triumph of the soul that shines throughout this book." Thank you, Al, for your kind words!
