Reviews
Like Anne Lamott...Addonizio seems to sense how to pull back from sentimentality, be it with humor, honesty or clarity of vision. --Regina Marler, The Los Angeles Times|9780743271820|, "A touching story about love and learning....[S]piky, unforgiving, and frankly sexual....[A]n amazing feat for a first-time novelist." --San Francisco Weekly, "I found myself rooting for them--a neat trick for the novelist to pull off--rooting for each, especially that new baby..." --Alan Cheuse, "All Things Considered", "Reveal[s] a wonderful imagination as she describes the struggles of each character with both a touching reality and edgy sense of humor." --Library Journal, "Like her poetry, rawly beautiful examinations of the body and heart's excesses,Little Beautiestackles tough subjects...with unflinching clarity, lyricism and humor." --San Francisco Chronicle

Synopsis
Diana McQueen, a thirty-four-year-old former child pageant contender, is working in a baby store in Long Beach. Between dealing with a catastrophic haircut, the failure of her marriage, and phone calls from her alcoholic mother, Diana has gone off her OCD medication and is trying to cope via washing and cleaning rituals. When pregnant teenager Jamie Ramirez enters the store, Diana's world turns upside down. Jamie plans to give her baby up for adoption, but things take an unexpected turn. Janie's baby, Stella, has her own will and a destiny to fulfill. These three characters' lives become linked in surprising ways as the magical plot of Little Beauties unfolds. With a poet's ear for fresh, evocative language and a deft humor that exposes her characters' foibles. Addonizio perfectly captures the messiness and unexpected beauty of life.
