Stepdog Book Launch at Instituto Cervantes

“Stepdog” officially came out in the world in balmy 70-degree weather at Instituto Cervantes, a Spanish government cultural center that serves as a peaceful oasis in the frenzy of midtown Manhattan. The center has classrooms for Spanish language classes, a gallery and an auditorium where my colleague at the NY Times, Janny Scott, author of the biography  “A Singular Woman,” about President Obama’s late mother, interviewed me on the challenges of stepmotherhood. We later moved on to the Instituto’s lovely garden for the book party.

MN: “The Stepdog event was so much fun, Eddie. Everyone wanted to know what I learned after 10 years living with you.”

SD: “Never underestimate the dog.”
