nonfiction, memoir
I thought this was an interesting series of interviews and stories. I wasn't sure what to expect from From Cradle to Stage but Virginia Grohl writes wonderfully and she clearly related to all the other moms she interviewed; there was a sense of intimacy to some of these stories that felt like you were going behind the curtain to meet these artists and their families. I particularly enjoyed the stories of artists that I didn't necessarily know a lot about (for example Miranda Lambert). I think I enjoyed the first half of the book better than the second half because some of the stories felt repetitive.
Overall I was impressed with all of these moms who really supported the creative endeavors of their kids & watched their wild leaps of faith and determination pay off. It's easy to enjoy these stories of family and success.
