The story of children fighting and surviving cancer is a tale of innocent courage and remarkable strength of character in the face of a seemingly implacable foe
Presents a humorous discussion of a forty-three-year-old marriage.
A cherished family reunion sets the stage for Erma Bombeck's predictably hilarious recollections of raising a family - that is, strangers who know each other intimately, but who have nothing in common (and want to keep it that way!). Erma's conclusion: families-you can't live with them, you can't live without them... or can you?
The “marvelously funny” and much-loved humorist explores the perils of suburban living in this New York Times bestseller (Vogue). For years, the Bombecks have heard rumors of a magical land called Suburbia where the air is clean, the grass is trimmed, and children don’t risk getting mugged on their walk to school. After watching their friends flee the city for subdivided utopias like Bonaparte’s Retreat and Mortgage Mañana, Erma and her family load up their belongings and cry, “Station wagons . . . ho!” But life on the suburban frontier is not as perfect as they had hoped. The trees are stunted, the house is cramped, and there’s no grass at all. But the Bombecks will make do, for they are suburbanites now—the last true pioneers! This ebook features an illustrated biography of Erma Bombeck including rare images and never-before-seen documents from the author’s estate.

Our Erma is on her way to becoming a sub-total woman.
