Summaries and Reviews
Amazon.com description: Product Description: This is a story about the year I exploded into flames...which turns out to be more common than youâd think among forty-something humans. Yeah, we can hold it together in our thirties, with a raft of hair products and semi-tall nonfat half-caf beverages....Come the forties, though, cracks begin to appear....Gourmet coffee splats; the wig slips askew. In other words, my friends, THE WHEELS COME OFF.
Sandra Tsing Loh is the fiercest, funniest, and most incredibly honest voice to emerge from the "mommy war" debates. Here she fires away with her trademark satire of societal and personal irks, prompted by her own midlife crisis, when she realizes she canât afford private school for her daughterâand her only alternative is her neighborhoodâs beyond-repair public school.
Mother on Fire documents Lohâs "year of living dangerously" among pompous school admissions officials, Prius-driving parents, vindictive bosses, and old friends with new money as she first kisses assâand then kicks it.
