Vivi's Vortex takes us inside the wildly imaginative brain of a teenager who discovers the true identities of her seemingly harmless pets.
I'm biased, of course. The author is my ex-wife and her Substack is about raising our youngest daughter. But if you want to dive hilariously into the "vortex" of female teenage years and what it takes for a mom to get through them with her sanity, and her daughter's intact -- this is definitely for you. Be prepared to laugh. It'll happen practically every other line.
As the Marx Brothers said, there ain't no sanity clause--but these are my latest thoughts about politics, policy, culture, books and other stuff.
Wisdom from an old pro who's been through the political wars between the parties and within each of them. Absolutely necessary reading for anyone who cares about the world of American politics...even the demented version played by one of our two parties today.
