Are We There Yet [Paperback]

Lori Clinch (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: May 2004

Having four sons provides great fodder for writing a book about real-life parenting. With refreshing honesty, Lori Clinch relates true and hilarious experiences she has had raising her family. Her book is not meant to guide or tell you how to parent, but with a little luck may make you smile or realize that every parent follows a similar path riddled with the same obstacles.

Review

This book is a comedic and heartfelt exploration of one woman's crazy, yet fun filled role as a parent. -- Sean C. Stephenson, MNLP, ChT

About the Author

Lori Clinch, the daughter of Art and Pat McEntire, was born in North Platte, Nebraska, a hotbed of material for writers whose passion it is to make people laugh. A friend—the one who once decorated her mantle with poison ivy—says Lori’s special talent is to take everyday situations and help people see the humor in them.

Lori and her husband Pat have four boys—Jestin, Micki, Joseph and Cory, all of whom provide fine fodder for her writing. About her husband Lori says, "Pat is a hammer-and-nails kind of guy and I never told him about my need to be a writer until we’d been married quite a while. One day I gave him a stack of emails I’d been writing to our friends about him and the boys. He sat and read them and laughed. That’s when he told me I should do something with my writing though he still thinks of it as a little hobby thing I’ve got going on."

Lori wanted to be a writer from the time she started school. On career day in third grade Lori picked writer as her occupation. She was shy in high school and never talked much but got straight A’s in all her writing classes. Her favorite writers are Stephen King, John Grisham and Erma Bombeck.

Lori’s goal in life? "The more people I can make laugh, the better."

This review is from: Are We There Yet (Paperback)

This a a great book! Lori is the mother of 4 boys and these stories tap into the chaos and hilarity and LOVE in their lives. As the mother of twin boys, I can relate to much of this, but I think ANYONE who knows and loves kids will enjoy it. I laughed my way through 'Are We There Yet?', and even cried in one particularly touching chapter. I highly recommend this delightful book, and also enjoyed the

sweet illustrations by Lori Allberry.
