Description:
What happens when schools close, and your motherhood support team is reduced to Zoom therapy? Enjoy Krista Ehlers' stories of the Covid-19 pandemic. Fans of Kristina Kuzmič and #IMOMSOHARD will love this funny, cheeky memoir.
Brief description: Krista Ehlers is a retired IT specialist and web developer, former foster parent and now adoptive mom of two. She is an experienced trainer, speaker and comedian, with a passion to lighten the load of mothers with transparency and humor. Krista's comedy appears mostly on social media, from which she coined the term "sit-down comedian." Her husband, children, and a backyard squirrel bully named Chipper live with her in the Pacific Northwest, in a state of mostly happy chaos. Read her own stories shared in her book and on Instagram @krista.ehlers.
Review Quotes:
"Whatever their pandemic experience, readers of parenting memoirs will find it easy to connect to Ehlers' playfulness and sincerity, and they will admire the endurance and love that saw her through her family's pandemic.... A heartwarming and relatable look into one family's lockdown lockdown that will particularly resonate with parents. Great for fans of: Anne Lamott's Operating Instructions, Jenny Lawson's Let's Pretend This Never Happened." BookLife by Publisher's Weekly
"Like humorist Erma Bombeck's propensity for capturing American life with a laugh, Ehlers takes a serious subject and turns it on end to make it more accessible by going beyond a depressingly serious tone, as other COVID accounts have chosen." Diane Donovan, Midwest Book Review
