A Job You Mostly Won't Know How to Do

A Job You Mostly Won't Know How to Do by Pete Fromm, 325 pages

Taz and Marnie are young, in love, and so excited for the upcoming birth of their child. But on the day Midge is born, Marnie dies from complications in childbirth, leaving Taz alone with his grief, his shock, and his motherless child. A Job You Mostly Won't Know How to Do gives a very realistic look at the first year of Midge's life, showing Taz's daily struggles as a widower and new father. For a book that I picked up solely because of the western Montana setting and the fact that the author's name ends with an M, I was pleasantly surprised by how much I enjoyed this simple, touching tale.
