Apparently

APPARENTLY (This Is What Parenting Feels Like) by Sue Dvorak is a warm, deeply honest memoir that captures the wild emotional landscape of parenting from the newborn stage through adult children caring for aging parents. Drawing on her life with six kids, the author delivers a mosaic of essays, poems, and vivid vignettes that run the gamut from joyful triumphs to horror‑movie moments, while offering moments of unexpected humor. The book isn’t a how‑to guide, but a raw and relatable chronicle of being a parent. Dvorak’s conversational tone and use of text boxes, poetry, and even toddler dialogue give the memoir immediacy and charm and the emotional honesty, humor, and underlying message resonate powerfully.
