If This Is Mid-Life, Where's the Crisis? Explores the peaks and pitfalls of being forty-something and married--with kids. Sam Cook takes you on a rollicking ride through mid-life with stops along the way to enjoy life's special moments. Finding humor in the little things that drive us all crazy, he helps you laugh at the trials and tribulations of family life. But Sam is not just funny--his delight in life's small pleasures shines through every story.

Book Description
Editorial Reviews
From Booklist
"For years, I thought buying a large T-shirt was living on the edge," writes Cook. Not exactly a wild and crazy guy, he's a columnist for the Duluth News-Tribune who treats pleasantly mundane topics with a light touch. He talks about being 40, a father, and a writer with unbarterable skills (his handyman wouldn't exchange home repair for one of Cook's love letters to his wife). A fine outdoor writer, Cook slips easily from parenting a sick child to paddling a canoe; there are nature images throughout this collection of columns. For readers seeking an alternative to Dave Barry, this is it. Denise Perry Donavin
Review
