Finally, it’s here: the new everyday stories book by Doris Knecht! In short episodes, the author shares moments from her life, depicting the balancing act of a working mom who doesn’t mind a little bit of her own private life amidst work and the chaos of raising children. Teenagers, the fleeting nature of the writing god, the temptations of idleness, and the challenges of a weekend house in the countryside: Doris Knecht allows her readers, especially empathetic women, to partake in her unflinching view of her own life and survival. And above all, it’s very funny. The book is for all mothers who occasionally don’t know whether they are despairing over themselves or their circumstances. And of course, for everyone who fundamentally knows that the joy of this life is children – as long as one can still maintain a little bit of dignity.
