Best of the Book Nook: The Mother's Guide to the Meaning of Life, by Amy Krouse Rosenthal

In 2002 when I interviewed Amy Krouse Rosenthal she was just beginning her meteoric rise to become the best-selling author of memoirs and over 30 children's books over the next 15 years. Amy became a much beloved writer. She died in 2017.

The Book Nook on WYSO is presented by the Greene County Public Library with additional support from Washington-Centerville Public Library,  Clark County Public LibraryDayton Metro Library, and Wright Memorial Public Library.
