This book is very interesting to me, because the author is the wife of a standup comedian who I like a lot. In his routines, the standup comedian often talked about his beautiful and extremely capable wife, his five children who they are raising in New York City, his wife's and his Catholic faith, and how his wife had a pear-shaped tumor lodged in her brain and had it surgically removed. I got intrigued listening to these stories and jokes and wanted to know more. So....this is a book that covers everything a fan would want to know :P It turns out the author is just as funny as her husband. She talked about her illness, her path to recovery, and her journey of self-discovery throughout the process in a very entertaining manner. Throughout the memoir it's clear that her faith grounds her and sustains her. And her husband is a sweet, good (and hilarious) human being. And, as a reader I got to learn a lot of details about the daily life of one of my favorite comedians. Yay! Pretty happy with the reading experience.… (plus d'informations)
