It was a simpler time and a happier time, that all depends on who you end up knowing. A good read with unexpected twists, amusing characters, complex interactions. Robert Neil Baker's humor and odd ball personalities keep the pages turning. A fun story that shouldn't be missed.

I'm so happy I read this. Joy is optimism in this world! My stiff neck has some flexibility, my unbelief is a bit less and my belief is stronger. The writing is a bit stiff, but that's not a reason to stay away. I'm smiling inside and you will be too.

Seriously, because when you start reading, you can't put the thing down! I'd be surprised if there was anyone who couldn't relate with this story, or one of its characters. Through a lot of laughs and a few tears, I came away with a gift.  I had comfort, perspective and maybe even a little therapy. It made me feel good about some of the things I had felt bad about. Kudos Ms. Tharp, KUDOS!

I thoroughly enjoyed the laughter this collection brought me.  I went from "OMG, how hilarious!" to "Yep, I had that same thought."  It was very easy reading and getting into the flow of the writing.  Dry wit and lots of smiles.  I know I'll be keeping this one on the home page of my Kindle.  When I'm having "one of those days", I can sneak off to the bathroom and take a few minutes to remind myself that there's humor in all the things kids do to drive us batty.  We just need to look for it.

I have to confess that I love a happy ending, and a cancellation of negatives by positives leaves a sense of well being for me,the reader.

The story was easy one to read. It made me giggle out loud at parts, get teary-eyed at others, and bask in my own pregnancy memories.
The book has multiple little grammatical problems and could use a good proof reader to clean it up, but it's an enjoyable tale.

I am totally pleased. Sometimes it takes a while to register a reading, but it was well worth it.

I giggled. Let me admit it. I too studied more than anyone ever should have of the Jesus thing and this book is so clever, so deft and so up on what it all means that the humor has to out itself.

At first, I thought the writing style was goofy and would annoy me, but I couldn't put it down. So, well done.

While reading, I am sure I had a subtle smile.  The author captures the essence of the "cultural pocket" of "Kirby".
