Some years ago, Joanne Palmer waved goodbye to in NYC and did what many of us city folk fantasize about; grabbed her skis, chucked the big city life and headed off to the Rockies. Green Acres with plenty of snow and peaks!For those of us still in the big city (any big city) this is a great read. With her fearless, self-effacing humor, this former NYC "Upper Westsider" shares her travails through the daily life of a single mom living in "Ski Town U.S.A."With Joanne there's never a dull moment and "Life in the 'Boat" is no exception. She deftly shines a humorous light on everything from caulking to kids. And when she takes aim on the tourists, and the mountain folk, remember; she's hiked/skied on both sides of all of those boots so she's fully licensed.
Author Joanne Palmer is a stand-up comedian on paper. Her memoir is hilarious and highly recommended to anyone, who has ever visited Ski Town U.S.A. or lived in Steamboat Springs, Colorado, or wants to. If you simply need a good laugh today, this is your 'go-to' book!
Joanne Palmer's account of "Life in the 'Boat" crackles with humor, providing a wildly entertaining and heartwarming read. Her personal and poignant stories about life, love and parenting remind us that ordinary life can be pretty darn funny. Put your angst aside, your feet up and enjoy some time with this genuinely gracious author.
The author has "nailed" our daily fears, challenges and shortcomings with a witty humor that makes us laugh at ourselves. I loved all of the essays, but Joanne helped me struggle with my guilt of cheating on my current hairdresser! This wonderful little book makes great birthday gifts for my friends of every age!
