WWW.DERELICTMOM.COM
An irreverent mom blog.
In an attempt to have it all, an extremely average woman takes on the impossible: working and having a baby at the same time, and she falls flat on her face, trailing a breast pump, two vicious miniature dachshunds and the snickering audience of an extended family in what amounts to a hilarious, honest and touching account of the colossal belly flop, which was the first years of her daughter's life.
Out of the Ashes: The Story of Butterfield & Company.
400 pgs.
The story of Butterfield & Company on the surface is the record of building a successful wholesale food business in a small competitive marketplace. Beneath the surface it is the tale of generations of Butterfields, each one enterprising, each one facing challenges particular to their era: a fire, major acquisitions, forays into other businesses, the great recession and the new frontier of technology. It is a sum of a company and the people involved, and for an audience it is like looking through a keyhole into a family company that has defied the odds to stand the test of time.
