Yet they are also capable of sudden, astonishing tenderness.

This review is from: Come, Meet My Family (Paperback)
Paul Beckman's family is like no other and yet, it is a family so familiar, it might be yours...or mine. In fact, I wonder... Wonderfully warm and humorous insights into the ways families drive each other crazy.
A wonderful gift for any relative...but particularly aunts.
