Review:This book was hilarious! I was chuckling outloud within the first few minutes of reading the book. I find Kathy Griffin very funny and her sarcastic sense of humor makes me happy. She does dish on many celebrities and you also get to see a more serious side of her when she discusses her family. I too am from an Irish background so I enjoyed the little jokes she had made about the Irish or about their drinking or even their hard work ethic. This is not a book that has some amazing plot or st... Read more

Review:I just happened upon the book and the boomama blog through a mutual friend's tweet. Where have I been??? I instantly connected with the "feeling" of home and what "home" is all about.

Review:The book was easy reading. The plot made you think about a time in our world that wasn't so good. This should remind us that it should never happen again. Somehow I thought it would end differently. Read more

The Pull of the Moon

Review:If you enjoy plotless meandering books, this one is for you. I’m not keen on them. This story is about a woman in a mid-life crisis, running away on a road trip to malls, diners, motels, trailer parks, main street front porches, K-Mart and coupon shoppers, etc., etc., and the people she encounters there in order to escape her family and her husband. Okay, she’s searching for herself at 50 years old (a little late for coming of age) but the self-indulgent, me, me, me became quite redundant and we... Read more
