Hey all.

So my father in law, Mike, wrote a memoir and it was released by Random House this week. It's the story of his family... including even DH! =)

It's got a 4 star review in People Magazine this week and it's been getting strong reviews elsewhere at all. His only mistake was not throwing in a reference to his fabulous daughter in law...

Please check it out if you're inclined...

There are reviews and the like here:

Wow, that looks great!

Sure sounds like you've got some interesting in laws! Bet you've got all kinds of neat stories flying around the dinner table when you get together.

I couldn't help but wonder: "What was it that made them run?"

But then I guess that would be ruining the whole plot!

The book sounds so fascinating Becca! I'm going to see if Amazon.com has it, I want to know what kept them running as well!

Thanks for sharing with us all!

Thanks, y'all!

Star - too funny. =)

Write ups are appearing in lots of papers... Washington Post, NY Daily News yesterday... it's fun to watch. We spent the day with Mike (FIL) on Sunday and he's pretty happy.

Thanks for supporting the book... it is quite a story. And Carm, you have no idea re: the stories at dinner.... my mom and stepdad are philosophy professors...
