My (not so) Storybook Life: A Tale of Friendship and Faith
by Elizabeth Owen
Genres: Nonfiction, Memoir, Adult
Average rating on Goodreads: 3.90

Fresh, funny, and poignant, My (not so) Storybook Life is old-fashioned humor mashed with literary spoofery. Elizabeth thinks of herself and her husband, Matt, as a modern-day Lucy and Ricky Ricardo. Together they’ve endured paint-color mishaps, sewage disasters, pest infestations, and a schnauzer that poops at tornado sirens. It’s hardly the domestic perfection a young Liz imagined while reading Anne of Green Gables and Pride and Prejudice. Could it be that these literary stalwarts had led her astray?Liz tells the story of her own path to happiness, along the way seeking revenge on her literary Jo March has to cope with a soul-sucking job, Elizabeth Bennett shepherds a Duggar-size brood of kids, and Anne Shirley deals with a penny-pinching husband. But every comedy is balanced by tragedy. Angela was one of Liz’s closest friends, a kindred spirit who, at age thirty-one, was diagnosed with cancer. Before Angela, Liz was discontented. But it was the journey she took with this friend that made her realize that her house and its decorations and plumbing and dirty-clothes-covered Man Cave were not burdens to be tweaked and perfected, but blessings to be thankful for.

Barbara Rose Brooker, author of "God Doesn't Make Trash and So Long, Princess": "Truly, a story for our times. If 'The Catcher in the Rye' were written today instead of fifty years ago, it would very much look like this. Simon Lazarus is a multi-layered odyssey of humor, depth, zest and originality." B. C. Madrigan, The Noyan Institute: "There is no way I can adequately describe the wonder of this book. Simon Lazarus is both an old and new tale taking on dimensions I've yet to see in any contemporary novel. Just the pace of it will keep you turning its pages for hours. It'll be worth wearing out the flashlight on this one!" Eckhart Tolle, author of "The Power of Now": "Simon Lazarus resonates an extraordinary beauty and wisdom one associates with the best of spiritual fiction (Herman Hesse comes to mind). From the very first page, Simon takes you by the hand and never lets you go. Join Simon on what is both an inward and outward journey filled with a wealth of stunning truths amid a very funny landscape. A book to be treasured." Dr. Daniel J. Gustafson, family psychotherapist: "Finally, here's an aptly funny and startlingly true narrative that captures the youth of today! This one's for the post-gen-x-ers-a.k.a. the "undeclared generation". And how fortunate it is to have such a wacky yet wise writer at its helm. M. A.
