Just Me and My Three Sons

By Michele Weldon

Just Me and My Three Sons is a gutsy, wry, and smartly told tale of maternal devotion. Michele Weldon doesn’t just cope when her husband abandons her and their three young sons, she does everything in her power—and then some—to assure that her three children thrive. She is a warrior mom in the best possible way—fiercely protective of her sons yet respectful of their growing independence, even when cancer threatens to upend the family’s hard-won stability. Weldon beats the odds on every page.
