Fish! for life

the long version

FISH! FOR LIFE is a true sequel to FISH! in that it features the characters Mary Jane and Lonnie from that book. But it can also be read as a stand-alone work.Mary Jane and Lonnie start building a life together and proceed to navigate through a series of challenging changes. Lonnie leaves the market in order to finish a college degree and the Pike Place Market retires his apron in a moving and fun-filled event. Mary Jame adjusts to married life and supporting the household as a working mother. The kids adjust to a new dad and everyone adjusts when Mary Jane announces she will be giving birth to their first child together. The challenges of every blended family emerge as a child of Lonnie’s shows up and is welcomed to the growing brood.As this story unfolds, we witness the many ways the FISH! Philosophy helps the family create a marvelous life individually and together with more than the average numbers of challenges, including: working mom, growing family, tension with the school, economic stress, weight gains, and one large hickey (just kidding, it is only a blemish, but it is scary for a while). We learn how to bring the FISH! Philosophy into our lives to help us achieve happiness and well being.
