Summary

Famous creator of the "Cathy" comic strip, Cathy Guisewite shares her ridiculously funny, laugh-out-loud tales of daily annoyances, like getting stuck in a sports bra. She weaves these relatable moments through her tale of trying to help her aging parents and her college-bound daughter and finding herself useless, not to mention her commentary on gender. Listen to her discuss her book, but then go read it. It will make you laugh until you cry.
