Slice of Life Omnibus. Slice of Life, #4

We can make hope happen, with whatever capacity we each have for hope. Doublejoy Books is pleased to present this omnibus edition of all three books in the Slice of Life series by Paula Johanson. Look here for the complete texts of No Parent Is An Island and the sequel Working Parent with more family stories! The series is complete with Under The Plow, a collection of her popular op-ed columns for a rural newspaper. If you like the humour and storytelling of Hannah Gadsby, then Slice of Life will keep you reading.
As Paula writes: Sometimes all it takes is a single lyric, like the Travelling Willburys singing "I've been robbed and ridiculed/ in daycare centres and night schools/ handle me with care" to get people in daycare centres and night schools across a continent singing bits of a song, all that season, while rocking their kids. "Paula Johanson chronicles the adventure of parenthood with wry wit and ironic accuracy." - Jim Holland, editor, Island Parent magazine "I thoroughly enjoyed reading Paula's insight into parenting.
I laughed (to tears) along with her at the antics of her children (and husband) and found myself nodding agreement over life's trials. Paula has found a way to survive with a smile. ...a very pleasant reminder that children are fun, even when they challenge us to the Moon." - Christine Stusek, mother of three, artist, daycare provider "This book helped me stay sane when my kids were small. It's just the right size to keep in the bathroom." - eager fan who bought two more autographed copies of No Parent Is An Island to give her friends.
