Marjie Zacks brings her small-town-Ontario upbringing to life in this lighthearted collection of her mother's quirky sayings.
Marjie didn't recognize the value of her mother's advice growing up as a high-spirited girl in the 1950s and '60s. This book traces a lifetime spent discovering the hidden meaning in expressions like:
· A bad beginning is a good ending
· You be the bigger person
· Monday comes the revolution!
· Hanging out our teeth together
From poignant and tender to wild and whacky, Marjie's recollections paint a vivid picture of her complicated mother and of how her priceless — and funny — words of wisdom have guided Marjie throughout her life.
