Think "Tuesday's with Maurey" with a twist. My book is a memoir, written in the spirit of Julia Sweeney's"God Said Ha," Geralyn Lucas's "Why I wore Lipstick: To My Mastectomy" and Margaret Edson's "Wit". It chronicles how one week after September 11, 2001, while the rest of the nation struggled with the attacks on our country, I realized during a phone conversation that my 63 year old father was suffering from Alzheimer’s disease. In the midst of a midlife crisis trying to balance my life as a wife, mother and struggling stand up comedian, that phone call added caregiver of my father and his 89 year old mother, to my already over loaded plate. (The book also contains moderate violence, porn talk with a parent and the fact that I perfected the art of going nutty-buckets and shaving my head long before Britney made it chic.)
