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.

My partner and I once did a semester project the weekend before it was due. We got the only A.

You are ‘in it up to your armpits’, Holly. Looks like no TV, no idPod or socializing with friends on the telelphone for you tonight. And I just for fun a lecture from Mom about putting off assignments.

Van, on the Reba show, used to say,“About that”…when there was something he hadn’t gotten done, or did something he shouldn’t have.

Holly is just trying to manipulate the teacher in the same way she manipulates her mother. Val lets Holly get away with it but the teacher is having none of it!

Part of the assignment is responsibility. Having a deadline teaches you to do it on time. I’m glad to see a teacher sticking to her date and not taking exceptions.

In college it was common for me to wake up at 4AM on the day the paper was due and knock it out before classes
The hardest paper was one where I needed to turn in a rough draft, with the revisions showing
I wrote the draft after the paper, including the revisions I had made in my head along the way
