Book Description
Online learning is more personalized than face-to-face. “Don’t @ me.”
Teacher and single mom Naomi Wellington is always biting off more than she can chew. At the rate she’s going, though, she’ll need the mouth of a hippo to have a shot of chewing it all-especially since her students aren’t the only ones who need her.
Throughout a chaotic school year, Naomi’s best friend discovers her wife has a mysterious disease doctors can’t diagnose, her daughter struggles with debilitating social anxiety, and her mother calls her repeatedly. From jail.
Hyper-involvement in her students’ lives means she misses things. A lot of things. And when one of her students shows up at her door alone and in trouble, Naomi’s urge to solve one person’s problems might result in alienating the people she loves most.
Trade in your popcorn for pop rocks in this modern epistolary that explores friendship, online relationships, and what it means to be family.
Editorial Reviews
Review
~Barbara Conrey, USA Today Bestselling Author of Nowhere Near Goodbye
This novel taught me that we can each form our own happy ending, family is whoever you want, and sometimes the people we need the most are already in our lives.
~
~ USA Today bestselling author Jennifer Klepper All I’m Asking is a heartfelt and original novel about family in all its forms. Rundquist tackles heartbreak, misunderstanding, and estrangement with a light and empathetic touch. This is one of those books that leaves your heart full and your hands eager to close the cover with a rewarding thunk.
~Kathleen West, author of Minor Dramas and Other Catastrophes, Are We There, Yet?, and Home or Away
