HTML: From the bestselling mother/daughter writing duo comes another hilarious collection of essays about motherhood, daughterhood, womanhood, and "does this hood look good on me?"

Funny, witty and insightful. Lisa and her daughter Francesva tackle some of life's challenges with grace and humour. I did grow tired of her talking about her former husbands. Best read in small doses.
