NORWALK, Conn. Longtime Stamford resident Susan Bach has just published her first book, Lemon Slices: Are Our Children Really Lemons? The book, a memoir on single parenting, the aging baby-boom generation and life in the suburbs, is planned as the first in a series. She describes her use of lemons as a metaphor for life, kids and the preservation of sanity and promises readers that it is an easy read and makes for a delightful reality check. Bach has established a Facebook page for her book, as well as a link to Amazon.com for ordering a copy.
