About the Book:
“Once a generation, we’re blessed with a book so moving, so truthful and powerful, that it touches a nation.With any luck, that book will be placed next to this one in the store.” —The author’s husbandAvailable at Amazon.
Welcome to the slightly off-kilter world of Claire Bowen and family. A world someone once called “gently insane.” Or perhaps he said the Bowen world was ordinary and the people were insane. In any case, he’s no longer invited to dinner. But draw your own conclusions.
Whatever else this book does, it makes you feel better about raising your own kids. It makes you feel better, period—it’s humor with a literary sense and humor with common sense. It’s humor with teenagers! What more could you ask? You’re likely to recognize your own family, because you know they’re nuts, too; and you’re sure to be comforted, because they’re not as nutty as some we could name. You’ll come away
feeling you’ve made new, albeit somewhat unstable, friends.
