Reviews

"Great stories. You made me smile."- SETH GODIN, AUTHOR OF PURPLE COW "So you can't choose your family. But you can write a book about them and destroy the parsley industry in the process. I wouldn't last a week in David Oakley's wacky family, but I would pay money to attend their reunion! I so appreciate David's wicked humor, brilliant story-telling, and true love of family. Even if he doesn't know that parsley is a garnish."- TRACY LEE CURTIS, AUTHOR OF TROPHY MOM "David has figured out the secret to life: he's learned to laugh at himself. We would all be richer if we learned how to do the same."- KRISTEN CAVALLO, CEO OF THE MARTIN AGENCY
