Just in time for the holidays, I’m pleased to announce the publication of my new book,
Chicken Soup for the Soul: All in the Family! If you’re familiar with the
Chicken Soup for the Soul series, you know that they have many great books for fathers, mothers, sisters, grandmothers and other family members. So, what makes this book different? It’s weird!
Yes, this book is a lot “edgier” than other
Chicken Soup for the Soul books because we were really looking for stories that showed how dysfunctional most of our families are. We wanted to know about people’s quirky, strange, outrageous and just plain odd relatives. We didn’t want to hear about the granny who knitted scarves for her family. We wanted to hear about the granny who drives a motorcycle and sports tattoos! There’s a very good reason why this book’s subtitle is:
101 Incredible Stories About Our Funny, Quirky, Lovable, and “Dysfunctional” Families!
But beware! You may even find that
Chicken Soup for the Soul: All in the Family represents YOUR FAMILY! This collection of 101 stories highlights wacky yet lovable relatives, holiday meltdowns, funny foibles, and incredible in-laws, along with more serious stories about abuse, control freaks, and flare-ups. If you’re looking for a great holiday gift for the people in your family, this book definitely fits the bill.
