Candid Family Portrait

By all appearances, June has the perfect life: a fulfilling career as a photojournalist, an egalitarian marriage with a man who adores her, and an apartment in San Francisco. But everything June and her husband, Vince, love about their lives and their marriage is about to be thrown into chaos when they decide to take the next big step in their relationship...

STARTING A FAMILY.

Written with humor and authenticity Candid Family Portrait is a novel about one couple's struggle to attain work-life balance and self-actualization in a world that is determined to force couples into narrowly-defined gender roles. Candid Family Portrait is a story about work, equality, self-actualization, and the triumphant power of love.

"Lovely writing with a hint of sass. E. S. O. Martin has written an honest and deeply moving novel about marriage, children, and female ambition."

—Elizabeth Bartasius, The Elegant Out
