Here's the set-up:
It’s not always easy to find the fun in life’s frustrations. But as
Deedee says, “Family that doesn’t kill you makes you stronger.” Among
the favorite essays featured in this second book from the bestselling
author of Driving on the Wrong Side of the Road are "Riding in Cars with
Kids," "What's DNA Got to Do with It?", and "Why Women Won't Read
Maps."
Find out why Bubbas build the best burgers, men shouldn’t
use the B-word (“budget”), and the term “happy camper” is an oxymoron.
From
raising daredevil children to her struggles with weight-loss, Estill
mines laughter from her many failures. Anyone who's ever been aggravated
by postal service, annoyed by excessive psycho-babble, or frustrated by
the search for a fool-proof diet will find Estill's takes on such
subjects refreshingly honest and entertaining.
Winner of the 2010 International Book Award (humor category) and a 2008 ForeWord Magazine Book of the Year Finalist.
One Reviewer Notes:
Totally Skewed is a wonderful relaxing read with many family stories closely resembling those we all experience. Diana's wit and humorous attitude toward what could have been stressful events and worries will make you laugh out loud, and enlighten your outlook for future situations in your own life. This book is delightful in that you can leave it on your coffee table for others to read a chapter or two or you can pick it up anytime to add a little chuckle to your day. I certainly recommend Totally Skewed Guide to Life.
