Are We There Yet?
By Lori Clinch

    Reading Are We There Yet is like drinking a cup of chamomile tea while lying on a down mattress - soothing comfort feathered with ticklish humor.

     Lori Clinch is the quintessential woman. When not writing her weekly column for a Nebraskan newspaper, she's juggling a jam-packed life. Her parents still book her guilt trips. Her husband occasionally acts like a child. Her sisters-in-law clip coupons and shop with a vengeance. Her quirky friends add spice (and competition) to her life.

     However, her primary focus is raising four sons. She dreads the last day of school and celebrates the end of summer recess. Homework, chores, Christmas lists, driving lessons, and sibling rivalry - each snippet is packed with witty candor. Whether her boys hide her scissors or bring home dead snakes, she manages to find absurdity in every child-rearing adventure.

      Many authors have attempted to fill Erma Bombeck's slippers, but none have come as close as Lori Clinch. Her universal topics will strike chords in most parents. Her straightforward style and playful wit makes pleasant reading after a long day. Got a family-induced stress headache? Forget the Tylenol! Grab Are We There Yet instead!
