\"TheVivian discovered magic existed when her daughter was attacked and changed into a werewolf. <\/p>\n

She wasn\u2019t weeping. That was appropriate. It meant the medicine and the therapy were working.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

They\u2019re working animals, like guide dogs. And we don\u2019t distract working animals, remember?\u201d<\/p>\n

Fortunately, Aria had spent two whole weeks obsessed with guide dogs (including trying to convince Vivian to make her a vest to wear so she could be a dog in public and still count as being dressed). <\/p><\/blockquote>\n

What is marvelous about this story? First, it is very pro therapy.<\/p>\n

\u201cI mean, I\u2019ve got everything, right?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cDo you?\u201d Dr. Kumar gave her a look, the one that said that the psychiatrist had noticed the pause and realized it meant there had been a lot of answers discarded before Vivian had said something out loud.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

And diverse characters, including a stay-at-home dad who writes romances books.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m a combat mage,\u201d he said, looking away and fidgeting with the hem of his shirt. \u201cI\u2019ve done some\u2026 stuff. And I might have to again some day.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cOh.\u201d She wasn\u2019t even sure what to picture there, but she was willing to bet his nightmares looked a lot like hers. Maybe worse. \u201cSo right now you like happy endings.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cExactly.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

And things you wouldn’t think about when dealing with a kid with unexpected needs.<\/p>\n

\u201cOK, into the tub. No, back to human form, we only have enough shampoo for your human hair. And remember, we use towels, not shaking off, inside.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

And the emails from the school.<\/p>\n

Mar 7 3:31 PM
\nShow and tell next week! Remember to write your child\u2019s name clearly on any objects brought in. No cursed or culturally insensitive objects, please.<\/p>\n

Mar 7 3:33 PM
\nLiving creatures do not count as objects.<\/p>\n

Mar 7 3:36 PM
\nUnliving creatures also do not count as objects.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

It was delightful while also making me tear up several times as Vivian tries to navigate her new world and the mean moms and her own background.<\/p>\n
