Editor's Notes and Comments:
Product Description:
From early adolescence, I had committed myself to joining the seemingly growing legions of women pumping their fists with a can-do spirit and a perfect balance of career and family. I fancied myself a textbook candidate for the League of Female Marvels…until the narcolepsy and nausea set in, and I chickened out. Sacrificing a few rungs on the corporate ladder to stay home and be a Full-Time Mom (FTM) surely would prove a noble, not to mention more orderly, move. And think of all the discretionary time and energy! Cue laughter.
Except within those rare close-knit and blackmail-toting friendships, the more maddening (yet equally funny) stories of motherhood are seldom shared—until now. From sex to sippy cups, the stories contained herein are told with candor, albeit through the eyes of a woman with a slight flair for the dramatic. Still, you may find them to serve as a mirror, a memoir, or a medicine to your own life—or that of any mom with whom you’ve ever lived. Occasionally sweet, always straight, The Myth of The Bonbons will strike a nerve with many women—and the men who find a well-timed placement of it on their nightstands.

As I laughed my way through each chapter, I realized with a twinge that the slightly hysterical note I detected in some of that laughter was because...the author was describing ME!! She has taken the everyday joys and trials of raising children, being a spouse and running a household that countless women can identify with and skillfully woven them into a series of vignettes that are as true and poignant as they are hilarious. For wit and honesty with a bite, Mrs. Johnston writes like a female David Sedaris. Hope there's a second book in the works.
