Synopsis

Wouldn't it be nice if we were always gracious and at our best? If PMS didn't secretly stand for Psychotic Mood Swings? If the men in our lives could be better behaved? If life didn't brim with bad-hair days and broken dreams and baffling relationships?

So, how do we cope? Can we learn to cry, laugh, and love without losing ourselves in the process? Can we seize the best and forgive the rest? Life is filled with bedlam and blessings; it is both blemished and beautiful.

In the laugh-a-minute tradition of her best-seller, Just Hand Over the Chocolate, Linamen again mixes a potion that helps women find the inner strength to embrace it all.

About this title

From the Back Cover

Is life making you grumpy? Have you ever suspected that your bed is the only one in town with two wrong sides? It would be nice if we were always gracious and at our best, if PMS didn't secretly stand for "Psychotic Mood Swings," if "happily ever after" were an unwritten guarantee. We all want fairy tale lives. But the truth is, even Snow White came from a dysfunctional family and lived with a man named Grumpy. So come on in and pull up a chair, because we're all in this together. In her most candid book ever, Karen Linamen shares stories and insights--from her experiences and those of thousands of others--on what helps when life hurts. If you feel stressed, disillusioned, or simply worn-out by life, take heart. In the tradition of Just Hand Over the Chocolate and No One Will Get Hurt, Karen delivers humor that will lift your spirits and insights that will help you experience true healing, entertain new hope, encounter fresh passion, and embrace vibrant joy. It's a tall order, but when life has made you grumpy, nothing less will do.
