Lisa Earle McLeod must be the long-lost love child of Erma Bombeck and Scott Peck: She serves up spiritual enlightenment, savvy business advice, and deadly-accurate relationship insights with a wit is so deliciously wicked, you'll laugh 'till your frappuccino comes shooting out of your nose. My favorite chapters were: Does Budda need Botox? Is Your Brain Ruining Your Life? and Why Does Mom Always Hold the Barf Bucket?

McLeod is a true original: smart, funny, spritual and insightful -- all squeezed into a french fry box.

I devour her newspaper column every week, I loved this book, and I can't wait to read her other ones.

I laughed 'til I cried!! Oh so funny but true. First get this book for yourself and then get it for every woman on your list...mom's day, teachers' end of year gift, etc. The man in your life could use it, too.

If divine laughter paired with spiritual insights is needed for a collection strong in spirituality, then Finding Grace When You Can't Even Find Clean Underwear is the perfect item of choice. It discusses what's important and what's not in the scheme of realizing spirituality in everyday living, and it chapters are as zany as 'Are Corporate Witches Getting a Bum Rap?' to 'Can you Blackberry Your Way to Happiness?' For a blend of everyday living advice, humor, and spiritual insights, this can't be beat and its title alone will have any general-interest public library lending collection excited.

Lisa McLeod scores with this wonderful look into the lives of 21st Century women and issues of today. The collection of stories is hilarious, heartfelt and leaves you feeling as if finally, here's a woman who "gets it." She is a rare combination of compassion with razor sharp wit.

I hadn't even finished reading this and had to buy one for a very dear younger (30) woman friend on her way to getting married this Fall. I've recommended it to every woman I know for the simple wisdom, insight and gentle expression of her suggestions for women (especially-though I think men could derive much from this book) to Finding Grace. I've also read her first book (Forget Perect) and it has just as much to recommend it as this one. Be engagingly guided to an easier and more enjoyable life.

I've always enjoyed Lisa McClouds column in our local newspaper and her book does NOT disappoint!! Anyone who is a harried, hurried mom who works inside or outside the home will definitely "get" this book!

From the other reviews I expected a funny, laugh out loud book about motherhood but I never once found myself laughing out loud. It was okay. She kinda just rambled from one thing to another. Didn't keep me interested and wanting to come back for more.
