Heaven Help Us!: A Humorous Look at Womanhood

Heaven Help Us!: A Humorous Look at Womanhood by Kari J. Rich. paperback edition. ISBN: 9781608618729.

LDS women work hard for many people in many places, striving every day to do and be their best, but how often do they get to simply sit back and LOL? In this collection of wry and witty essays, one modern Mormon mom turns ordinary predicaments into awesome opportunities to lighten up and look at life with a laugh. Whether shes busting through red tape to get medical assistance for her injured son, celebrating the birth of her child by losing her lunch on the bathroom floor, or having an off-beat adventure in the residue of Mormon culture found at the D.I., Kari J. Rich uncovers the hilarity that lurks in everyday situations. See her thwart self-pity with self-deprecation as she rediscovers her testimony in a can of tuna, loses touch with her children by joining the PTA, gets chased down by a hawk on her bike, unknowingly turns into her father on Memorial Day, and battles the family hierarchy at the height of the holiday season. Theres more than frivolity on these pages, golden nuggets of wisdom do surface on occasion. But dont worry, they pass quickly. Karis much more concerned with just finding joy in this experience we call womanhood.
