In this bedtime book for children, Anna Grossnickle Hines tells the true story of her second marriage through the narration of her youngest daughter. This device emphasizes the family nature of the whole affair, and the importance of the single parent bringing his or her child along through romance, courtship, and marriage (notice the "we" in When We Married Gary). It"s all true, so we know the emotion involved and we"re glad Hines has let us in on her joyous occasion. She illustrates the book with airbrushed pictures.
