The author recalls that back in that time there was a show called Queen for a Day, which enshrined everyday women—mothers and wives—in their true splendor, and she wishes that her mother could have been the heroine of an episode. In this wonderful memoir, Pasquarello has succeeded in not only making her mother Queen for a Day—but Queen for a Lifetime!
