It is ages 4-14 that make up the second act, as Catherine Newman puts it in this delightfully candid, outlandishly funny new memoir about the years that \"your children will remember as childhood.\" \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Following Newman's son and daughter as they blossom from preschoolers into teenagers, \u003ci\u003eCatastrophic Happiness\u003c\/i\u003e is about the bittersweet joy of raising children -- and the ever-evolving landscape of issues parents traverse. In a laugh out-loud, heart-wrenching, relatable voice, Newman narrates events as momentous as grief and as quietly moving as the moonlit face of a sleeping child. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e From tantrums and friendship to fear and even sex, Newman's fresh take will appeal to any parent riding this same roller coaster of laughter and heartbreak.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eCatherine Newman\u003c\/b\u003e is the author of the memoir \u003ci\u003eWaiting For Birdy\u003c\/i\u003e.
