All My Favorite Colors Are Red

"Humor," said James Thurber, "is emotional chaos remembered in tranquility." If you add the clause "especially when you are a mother of six," you will have the premise of All My Favorite Colors are Red.  It's the diary of Sarah Ferguson, a 39-year-old suburban housewife whose year-long musings can be summed up as follows:   Motherhood is hard   (Know when to walk away, know when to run) Motherhood changes your life   (Nobody lives happily ever after) Motherhood is a blessing   (Finding pearls of wisdom in the sea of muck)   ===========================================================   "Absolutely the funniest book I've ever read!" Abbe Starr –Barb's best friend since she was two   "I'm so proud of her.  She's an amazing author and an even  more amazing person." Ruth Nobis—Barb's mom   "Barb is so awesome.  I think she's, like, the most gifted person on the planet." Stranger to whom Barb slipped a large sum of money in order to use this quote   "She's the best mom I ever had." Jordan Eimer—age six   =============================================================
