Award-winning humorist Diana Estill sets loose her alter ego Deedee Divine in this hilarious life survival guide. In her native Texas tongue, she explains why "family that doesn't kill you makes you stronger," women won't read maps, and men should never use the "B-word": budget. If you've ever wondered what keeps couples together (they accept flatulence as a sign of relationship comfort), where to find the path to success (follow the "7 habits of highly self-absorbed people"), or what regifting has to do with America's GNP ("Gross Needless Products"), Deedee has these answers and more. In Deedee Divine's Totally Skewed Guide to Life, Estill, author of Driving on the Wrong Side of the Road, has once again turned life's absurdities and annoyances into side-splitting laughs.
