description: In this collection of essays, you'll find stories that touch the heart or tickle the funny bone -- sometimes both, simultaneously. While this award-winning columnist typically writes about the joys and hassles of life in a family, The Snake in the Spin Cycle offers something more than a series of lighthearted observations on topics like carpools, Mother's Day, and missing socks. A few of these essays would be right at home on the opinion page of the newspaper; others recapture what it was like growing up in the Midwest in the fifties.
