[SR: 16170773], Paperback, [EAN: 9781461080695], CreateSpace Independent Publishing Platform, CreateSpace Independent Publishing Platform, Book, [PU: CreateSpace Independent Publishing Platform], CreateSpace Independent Publishing Platform, This is a book that contains a lot of my "family skeleton" stories. There was Grandma, a bitter and unhappy woman except for those times when she was "makin' her beads." There was the time Papa happened accidentally upon a murder and was sure, when he ran, that the crazed killer, bloody knife in hand, could not be far behind. There was Aunt Sophie who, like clockwork, came walking up our long, dirt road every summer, armed with her small, old suitcase, her beat-up straw hat, and yet another romantic story about her latest, if imaginary, "hot blooded lover." Only Aunt Sophie had the peculiar quirk of pronouncing the word "lover" as "liver." "Yes sir," she would say, slapping her good knee with her plump hand. "That man was sure one hot-blooded liver, alright!" Then there was Cousin Dooley, who was sure for many years that he was "God's gift to women," although if that were true it would mean God is into gag gifts big time. There was my late brother, Leo, who was really kind of mean, but as time went on I finally understood his pain. There are some opinion stories, a tale in praise of adopted dogs, and more, much more. Several of the stories in this book were originally published in Chicken Soup for the Soul books. Some of the other pieces have appeared in various publications. There is something for everyone in this book, but fair warning: People who decide to try to find the rest of the skeletons in this author's family closet are apt to discover enough there even yet to hold a reunion., 761128, Parenting & Families, 4456, Humor, 86, Humor & Entertainment, 1000, Subjects, 283155, Books<
