The incomparable Lisa Scottoline, along with Daughter Francesca, is back with more wild and wonderful wit and wisdom.New York Times bestselling author Lisa Scottoline struck a chord with readers, book clubs, and critics with her smash-hit essay collection, Why My Third Husband Will Be a Dog. This time, Lisa teams up with Daughter Francesca to give their mother-daughter perspective on everything from blind dates to empty calories, as well as life with the feistiest octogenarian on the planet, Mother Mary, who won�t part with her thirty-year-old bra. Three generations of women, triple the laughs---and the love.Inspired by their weekly �Chick Wit� column for The Philadelphia Inquirer, Lisa and Francesca spill all their family secrets---which will sound a lot like yours. And you�ll have to put this book down, just to stop laughing.LISA ON DIETING: I�m backsliding with carbohydrates, which is the food version of ex-sex.FRANCESCA ON CUTTING THE CORD: I thought I said, �I am going to see my cousin�s new apartment,� but in Mom-speak that translates to: �I am going to meet certain death in the New York City subway tunnels that are soon to be my tomb.�LISA ON MOTHER MARY: Most people have a list of Things To Do, but Mother Mary has a list of Things Not To Do. At the top is Don�t Go to the Movies. Other entries include Don�t Eat Outside With The Bugs and Don�t Walk All Over This Cockamamie Mall.FRANCESCA ON BEING SINGLE: I�m addicted to the wedding announcements. Worse, I find myself subtracting my age from the bride�s. I thought I was a modern woman, turns out I�m a Cathy cartoon.LISA ON AGING GRACEFULLY: Today I noticed my first gray hair. On my chin.And so much more!
