Operating Instructions: A Journal of My Son's First Year

With the same brilliant combination of humor and warmth she brought toÂ bestsellerÂ Bird by Bird,Â Anne Lamott gives us a smart, funny, and comforting chronicle of single motherhood.

Itâ€™s not like sheâ€™s the only woman to ever have a baby. At thirty-five. On her own. But Anne Lamott makes it all fresh in her now-classic account of how she and her son and numerous friends and neighbors and some strangers survived and thrived in that all important first year. From finding out that her baby is a boy (and getting used to the idea) to finding out that her best friend and greatest supporter Pam will die of cancer (and not getting used to that idea), with a generous amount of wit and faith (but very little piousness), Lamott narrates the great and small events that make up a womanâ€™s life.

"Lamott has a conversational style that perfectly conveys her friendly, self-depricating humor." -- Los Angeles Times Book ReviewÂ

"Lamott is a wonderfully lithe writer .... Anyone who has ever had a hard time facing a perfectly ordinary day will identify." -- Chicago TribuneÂ
