Author Spotlight: Burnt Cupcakes-a Memoir of Marriage, Motherhood and Madness

When thirty-one year old Carrie is over-extended, exhausted from work, and trying to pull together the perfect birthday for her child, she ends up on the kitchen floor, lying in a sticky mess of splattered cupcakes, wondering how exactly she had gotten to this point in her life. A candid memoir, Burnt Cupcakes-a Memoir of Marriage, Motherhood and Madness, is the story of a young woman who is struggling to balance her marriage, two babies, career and home, not to mention all the social pressures that accompany raising a family in a close-knit community, all while not losing herself along the way. Presented with truth and humor, readers of Burnt Cup- cakes will respond with recognition and empathy to an honest and genuine, but not always pretty, depiction of contemporary marriage and motherhood.
