Elouise Bell will delight young and old with this audio edition of Only When I Laugh. Sometimes prophet, sometimes madwoman, Elouise Bell always finds the seams and creases in life, the warps and crinkles that make us humans truly laughable stock. And in Aunt Patty Remembers, Elouise Bell take on the persona of "Aunt Patty" to recreate the trials and accomplishments of this great woman, Patty Sessions.

Only When I Laugh
(If people can "power lunch," how about making room in the...)
If people can "power lunch," how about making room in the work day for a "power-nap"? If women receive flowers in church on Mother's Day, should men receive something along the lines of a garden tool on Father's Day? In the tradition of Garrison Keillor, Elouise Bell tackles timely questions in a way that both celebrates and critiques her culture. Delighting readers of network magazine and the Salt Lake Tribune for years, she has compiled for the benefit of readers everywhere twenty-five of her most memorable articles including "Zzzzzuchini"; "Christmyths"; "What Makes Botticelli Blush?" and her most popular essay, "The Meeting," in which gender roles are reversed in an LDS worship service. As charming and light-hearted as these are, there is an implied caveat: anyone who cannot visualize bishops in high heels, house husbands, or a Mormon Democratic caucus should seek their razor-sharp social commentary elsewhere.
