Family and observational humor from award-winning author Diana Estill.
Idiots and children are said to be divinely protected, and to tell the unvarnished truth. To prove that theory, in her latest collection of humor essays, award-winning humorist Diana Estill delivers twisted tales of past and present. Having grown up with an absent-minded father and a mother who refused to wear—but nevertheless tried to sell—beauty products, Estill drolly recalls her childhood angst and confusion. The author’s keen observations about life and family straddle the line between satire and memoir, consistently hitting the comedic bull’s eye.
