"Syra's Scribbles" is an adventureous collection of personal stories about life as a stay at home mother of two children.
Having grown up with the confidence that she could do anything she aspired to, Syra married her true love, earned her master’s degree in mathematics, and then embraced a career as housewife and stay-at-home mother.
These letters chronicle Syra’s real-life experiences that take the reader through a continuum of emotion: the thrill of a baby learning to walk, the surprise of a teenaged nephew moving in, the fear of wild fires creeping closer, and the anguish of an aging mother’s decline that would change everyone’s lives. Syra’s stories are laugh-out-loud funny, inspirationally moving, and real beyond the glitz and glamour of reality TV.
