Jan Eliot's funny and irreverent Stone Soup follows the saga of an extended, blended family, starring two working-mom sisters living just across the fence from each other. Val and Joan share life with their opinionated mother, a middle-school diva and 10-year-old tomboy, a reclusive teenage boy, a wild preschooler and his new baby sister...and of course Wally, the ultimate nice guy who steps into his stepdad shoes with grace amid the chaos. Working-parent hassles, pre-school tantrums, middle-school angst, love and the single mom... it's all here in Stone Soup.

Oh, just great, Aunt Joan! You’re gonna be the one to screw up your niece. Gawd help her if she actually believes you. Holly is at that age where she could very well get confused about what’ll work, and what won’t.

Just like her mom and Aunt Joan, Holly will find out for herself. She’ll get that floating-on-air feeling – - and the miserable crash that comes afterwards. And she’ll find some way to cope and get over it all, whether good or bad.
Such is life.

Or instead of the crash she will be like me. 30 years and 5 kids later we are still together and still in love.

Being in love is good for your health. You can’t eat and you lose weight.

Considering the kinds of chemical changes in the human brain it is more potent an yet similar to alcohol in some ways.

Seems to me as though Holly might have her head screwed on straighter than Aunt Joan’s.
