If It's Not One Thing, It's Your Mother

Meer over het boek

Julia Sweeney was nearing 40, and quite famous, when she got on a flight to China to turn her life upside down. She had a flourishing career as a comedienne and performer, ample friends and admirers, but what she didn't have was a child and, after a string of non-committal boyfriends, she decided to adopt alone. Mulan was one-and-a-half years old when she met her new mother, and every bit as feisty as the Disney character of the same name. This is the story of this unexpected mother-daughter pair who eventually became - Julia's astonishment and in a hilariously unconventional way - a mother-daughter-father trio.
