“Erma Bombeck famously found meaning in a place no one else was looking - the everyday lives of everyday women. Adina Ciment does her foremother proud with these essays of surviving school supply shopping, summer camp, movie night negotiations - and breast cancer. Her work is humorous, hopeful and human. Some bit of Erma lives in these pages.”

Thrilled to share the link to preorder my first book, and even more thrilled that twenty years later, Leonard Pitts, Jr. gave me his stamp of approval.
