Mommie dearest by christina crawford5/29/2023 “Mommie Dearest” will be made into a movie. Soon, Koontz said, yet more people will know her story.

Shane entered foster care as a child and is now in Alcoholics Anonymous. But this isn’t a light romance by any means, especially during flashbacks. Chosen family is a strong central theme in the novel, and characters like Eva’s spunky daughter, Audre, and book editor, CeCe, bring warmth to the pages.
