Hailed as America's funniest woman, Erma Bombeck is guaranteed to send you into peals of laughter with her wise and witty books. In I Lost Everything in the Post-Natal Depression, she takes a fun-filled look at what it's really like to be a modern wife and mother. Displaying spirited insight, Erma exposes threats to the most stable contemporary marriage. She reveals what happens when a wife puts a dent in his car, couples cook together over the hibachi, and a woman expects romance from her worn-out husband. And she reports the frustrations of raising today's children: ever-changing hair styles, impossible to understand movie ratings, and the latest approach to toilet training. Erma's contagious humor combined with narrator Barbara Rosenblat's perfect timing will have you chuckling till tears come to your eyes. And the poignant insights sprinkled throughout will make you stop to think about the rich rewards of family life. Unabridged on four compact disks.

This is a heartwarming book about kids surviving cancer. America's favorite family writer brings us the stories of children who have every hope of beating the odds and living to drive their parents crazy. The reader will smile at their wisdom, be dazzled by their insights, and share the joys of their triumphs. At first Erma Bombeck was apprehensive about the humor that could be found in such a serious topic. But as one of the kids she met asked, "Would you be happier if we cried all the time?" Erma soon realized that within these gutsy kids was a motherlode of optimism, laughter, and love of life waiting to be mined. And now readers will be rewarded with the treasures of this book. We meet kids and their families conquering the most difficult times of all. Along the way we get to know mothers, fathers, siblings, friends, schoolmates, relatives, doctors, and teachers. I Want to Grow Hair, I Want to Grow Up, I Want to Go to Boise is as unique as the kids themselves. It is not a medical book; nor is it a sad book. It sparkles with innocence and glistens with hope.

A look at one of the toughest jobs on earth, from the woman who perfectly captures life's humor and heart. Anyone who thinks motherhood is easy has never had children. To care for children, a husband, and oneself is a superhuman task, and any woman who appears to be expert at doing all three simultaneously is not Supermom-she's a good actress. For three decades, Erma Bombeck chronicled motherhood's daily frustrations and victories. In this classic anthology, she presents all sorts of mothers, and even a stay-at-home dad, on good days and bad. With hilarious anecdotes and deep compassion, she shows that there is no other profession that demands so much, and rewards so highly.
