What's makes a story interesting? Honesty and a lot of good friends might be Helen Ellis's answer. With quick wit and a little dirty truth, this collection of twelve short essays is sure to bring a smile to your face. From water park adventures to playing poker with the toughest of men, Helen has done it all and lived to tell the tale. Not afraid of anything (except maybe driving), Helen gets real with her readers and talks about the taboo topics like fixing her double chin with stomach bile injections and asking the question, "Are you there, Menopause? It's Me, Helen." Each story is a unique, true story and many will have you laughing out loud. With an eclectic group of characters like cat-lady plastic surgeons, garage sale swindlers, platinum medallion fliers, and fifty-year-old new moms, this author knows how to make any story utterly enthralling. I would recommend this book to anyone who enjoys a good laugh and doesn't mind a bit of strong language. This book is available in the Azalea Regional Library System.
