Author Description

NYMB Family features 60 funny, first-person stories that the book's contributors have written about their own families. As the old saying about families goes: The apple doesn't fall far from the tree. Ain't that the truth! How many times have you hollered at your kids then thought, Oh, no! I sound just like my mom! Or looking into a mirror you notice your temples beginning to gray, just like your dad's? Genetics is the hand we are all dealt, and we have nothing to blame but our family lineage. Regardless of what limb you dangle from on your family tree, your roots play an important part in your everyday life, from Oh, crap!" moments to family squabbles, from daring adventures to dealing with a crazy aunt or uncle. From those nuclear, blended or extended families, new memories are created, memories that turn into family legacies and stories often repeated. While you can choose your friends, you can't choose your family. So like the family on the cover of this book, always have a box at the ready. You never know when you'll need it!
