Mary O'Shaughnessy, Co-Author, New York Times's Best-Selling Perri O'Shaughnessy Novels
“Very inviting. Easy to read and fine examples of the redemptive power of a chuckle. I think the book can be seriously helpful to people who are ill as well as healthy sourpuss people, if some loving friend will get the book to them.”
Jim Allen, Producer, Steve Allen comedy writer
