Marcia is a Canadian Indie author. Letters to My Hypothetical Children is her first non-fiction novel. This read offers a great writing voice. It’s a fun read, both memoir and advice.

The following review was posted on Goodreads: November 2021.

The stories and lessons Marcia shares are moving and her strength shines through. It is clear that the words that fill these pages come from genuine feelings and in reading them I found hope, humour, and a connection. I love how Marcia points out that shit isn’t perfect and we don’t have to be perfect to live, to love, to learn, and to parent. We just have to be who we are.

How many times as parents do we look in the mirror and ask our reflection if we are getting this parenting business right? Are we doing the best we can for these developing souls? I had no idea before becoming a parent myself that there was so much uncertainty wrapped into the role of parenting. Looking back at memories of growing up is a bona fide way to not only help ourselves parent, but to help our children thrive; parenting really is ‘making mistakes and keeping it real.

  1. With two grown kids and four grandmunchkins, and I’m still not sure I get parenting right.

    Well, I don’t have to wipe any bottoms, which is good.

    1. Parenting is such an adventure, but I don’t think there is a right way. I think there is a way for each of us and our families.

      I have to say I’m happy to not have night feedings and bottoms to change. I love the stage my family is at.

    1. Parenting is such an adventure. I have on occasion advised my own children that I’m learning still but doing the best I can. At the end of the day, the best we can do is all we can do. Thanks for stopping in, Jennifer.
