Watch Out For Sneaker Waves: 25 Mostly True Stories

Fans of David Sedaris, the movie "A Christmas Story", or NPR’s This American Life, will appreciate the mix of humor and trauma in Watch Out For Sneaker Waves. What’s being a child of parents who don’t understand or being a father who doesn’t understand his children? Surviving childhood isn’t easy. Dodging bullies, losing your three-old-brother in a forest, and evading vomit while trapped in a car are just some of the obstacles. Getting a driver's license and a little freedom doesn’t make things better. You have to pay for gas, repairs, and explain that you were involved in a drive-by shooting while trying to sell low-flush toilets. Growing up might be worse. You have to clean up the children’s poop and spit-up. Dealing with a three year old nudist is almost enough to make you wish you could go back and live with your own nutty parents again. Almost.
