There are just some authors you wait on with bated breath. Not because they write a book you can wrestle with, or one of profound, deep, truth, but because it’s the perfect book fora lazy Sunday.

So, grab your hot chocolate, stoke up the fire (OK, I live in the mountains of Colorado, where it’s getting cold. If you live somewhere warmer, stoke up the AC), kick up your feet and turn the page.

Bonnie Manning Anderson has written her latest book, Down and Out and Ready for a Miracle, joining the ranks of Fannie Flagg and Erma Bombeck as a humorist with a bit of bite.

The truths revealed in this great book are not deep, or profound, they’re personal and if you’re slow, you’ll miss them, because their truths (funny, thank goodness) are about growing old, about hopelessness, and feeling like you can’t do anything right.

Jacko, homeless, hapless, and helpless, feels awfully familiar. So does Oscar. You’ll discover that Bonnie writes about her family, pushing them past the point of absurdity, yet her family feels a lot like mine…

Maybe those truths are a bit more profound that I thought.
