Saturday Night Live veteran Julia Sweeneys endearing series of true tales from parenthoods front lines (O, The Oprah Magazine) is a funny, smart tour de force that reads like a conversation with your best friend.In these candidly witty and poignant essays, comedienne and writer Julia Sweeney muses on the complex blessings of motherhood: deciding to adopt her daughter, a Chinese girl named Mulan (After the movie?); nannies (including the Chinese Pat); being adopted by a dog; and meeting Mr. Right through an email from a complete stranger who wrote, Desperately Seeking Sweeney-in-Law. She recounts how she explained the facts of life to nine-year-old Mulan, a story that became a wildly popular TED talk and YouTube video. But no matter what the topic, Julia always writes with elegant precision, pinning her jokes with razor-sharp observations while articulating feelings that we all share.
