It.Goes.So.Fast by Mary Louise Kelly


I have been listening to this NPR reporter for years and she's always been one of my favorites.  Currently, she is one of the hosts of All Things Considered.  I heard that she had written this book, and I heard her interviewed about it, and I knew I had to read it.  I am so glad that I did.  One of the best books so far this year.

By the way, I listened to the book, in her own voice, which made it even better. I do recommend using that format.

In this memoir, Ms. Kelly describes how she has been juggling her life for the past 17 years as a mother and a professional with an extremely demanding but amazing job.  She realizes during her older son's senior year of high school that she has missed the majority of his soccer games, and soccer is his LIFE!

There are very interesting stories from "the front" covering the news,  accounts of her life as a mom and wife and yes, daughter.  I could not stop listening to this audiobook.  Get it and listen.
