In the tradition of Anna Quindlen  Molly Ivins  and Erma Bombeck  but with a distinctive voice and sensibility all her own  Connie Schultz comes out of the heartland of America to get you seeing  feeling  and thinking more deeply about the lives we lead today.  You might spot someone you know in the stories here  writes Connie. Maybe youll even find a glimpse of yourself. Yes  each of us is unique  but life happens in ways that bind us like Gorilla Glue. In Life Happens  Connie shares sharp  passionate observations  winning our hearts with personal thoughts on a wide range of topics  from finding love in middle age to the meaning behind her fathers lunch pail  from single motherhood  to who really gets the tips you leave and why as the war in Iraq  race relations  gay marriage  and wwhy women dont vote. In a more humorous vein  Connie shares her mothers advice on men (Dont marry him until you see how he treats the waitress) and warns men everywhere against using the dreaded f-word (its not the one you think). Along the way  Connie introduces us to the heroic people who populate our world and shows us how just one person can make a difference.  Charming  provocative  funny  and perceptive  Life Happens gives us  for the first time  Connie Schultzs celebrated commentary in one irresistible volume. Life Happens challenges us to be more open and alive to others and to the world around us.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67977355952181,"sku":"ByrdShop_140006497X","price":49.05,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9781400064977.jpg?v=1794660540","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/life-happens-and-other-unavoidable-truths-9781400064977","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
