Title: I Killed June Cleaver (Starting a new Ring)
Description: Modern Moms Shatter the Myth of Perfect

Synopsis

I Killed June Cleaver is a collection of funny and light-hearted essays about parenthood, encompassing the notion that a mother needn't be an over-achiever, and that whatever works is the way to go. One of the few books to address motherhood beyond the infant/toddler phases, I Killed June Cleaver includes such stories as:

"What They Don't Teach You in Childbirth Class"
"Why It Takes Mom a Week to Get Over the 24-Hour flu"
"Laundry Mom"
"The Children's Car Pool Accord"
"The Young Adults Return"
"Mom and Dad Are Doin' It (Or Trying To)"
"It's Wednesday and I Don't Have Any Clean Underwear"
The new model of motherhood in these pages is a loving but human mom, whom you'll never see pushing a vacuum cleaner while wearing cultured pearls. This mom may or may not be a good cook, she's pretty tired, she probably hasn't had time to get a haircut in many months and she more or less calibrates her calendar to her car pool days. Moms today are under more pressure than ever. These humorous essays serve as a relief valve.

Anyone interested in joining this ring? I would be happy to include international members as long as one of the participants is willing to ship overseas.

I'd love to join, but I really really really need to be put at the end. I'm really too swapmed right now with rings and schoolbooks, but I would love to read this! I'm in Canada, and will ship anywhere.
