Great book about life NOT in the big city. Tracy has a funny and readable writing style that just about sums it all up in the space of a few pages. Her tales are what happens to us everyday, yet she adds something to the stories to make them laugh out loud funny! I really enjoyed this book!

You'll never think about life in the suburbs the same again after you read Rebel Without a Minivan. It's jam-packed with humorous observations and wit. Buy this book for any hard-to-please friend (it's not just for moms). Tracy Beckerman has the ability to extract humor out of the most ordinary of events. I warn you: This is the sort of book you won't be able to put down. I only wish I could rate it six stars!
Thank you Tracy.
Sometimes being a Mom is not so easy and you want to scream and yell.
So I just read your book instead and laugh and laugh.
Great way of looking at the world.
Highly recommended.

A truly funny reminder of the good old days, when I was the "rebel". Tracy's take on the important things in life (and its not the clean house or the fashion forward clothes) is dead on. I feel like taking this book out and distributing it on street corners to the moms I see rushing around to activities for their children, while the kids are sitting in the minivan wondering what it would be like to have time to chase lady bugs, and play pick-up ball without grown-ups coaching.
