House of Testosterone: One Mother's Survival in a Household of Males

House of Testosterone: One Mother's Survival in a Household of Males by O'Donnell, Sharon. hardcover edition. ISBN: 9780977808601.

Though serious enough to provide thoughtful discussion about male psychology and marital stress, this book makes humor—based on real dialogue scribbled in notebooks over the years by the mother of three boys—the main event. Bewilderment and hilarity slosh together as the author contemplates never-ending bathroom jokes, bemoans her familys persistence in calling intermission at the theater "half time," and shares her tips for surviving unbearable vacations in the RV. In the end, this plucky, lighthearted story of a rowdy household is a lesson in forsaking unrealistic expectations and tackling each day with a sense of adventure.
