Tuna on Toast, Sister Clotildis, UFOs and Other Things I Survived

From the surreal TV shows, to the meanest nun at Catholic school, to making your own fun outside, Sherri Bobzien's first book captures the hilarity, the awkwardness, the heartache and the occasional magic of childhood in a quasi-functional family. Everything Sherri survived -- princess pageants, a parent's alcoholism, divorce, mild poverty, mild neglect, Dad's new girlfriends, Cindy Brady, President Nixon -- she did surrounded by an ample supply of tormenting brothers and hero-caliber sisters. Tuna on Toast delivers the laughs and the heart expected of the best humor memoirs. This family will feel so much like your own -- you'll cringe. "To be so funny and understanding, in the face of family dysfunction, well, that's a special kind of crazy: the good kind."Dave Anderson, Comedian and Portland TV & Radio Host
