Books
Diesel, A Bookstore in Brentwood, invites you to join
author Tracy Beckerman, now on a national book tour, for a Wine and
Cheese meet and greet tonight at 7 p.m. The event celebrates Tracy's brand new book, Lost in
Suburbia: A Momoir: How I Got Pregnant, Lost Myself,
and Got My Cool Back in the New Jersey Suburbs.
This is her only L.A. stop so you definitely want to try and get a responsible sitter, then sneak out of the house and take a break from your kids this evening to join the fun. Shush: Don't worry I won't tell anyone that you are actually having a girls night out and doing something just for yourself for a change. After all it's just between us moms, right?
About the Book
It's a suburban jungle out there! When syndicated columnist Tracy Beckerman trades in her TV job and cool NYC existence for the New Jersey suburbs, she doesn't expect to also trade in her entire identity. However, her new life as a stay-at-home mom knocks her for a loop in more ways than one. From the embarrassment of being ticketed while driving in her bathrobe to the challenge of making friends in the land of big hair and minivans, Beckerman shares her struggles with self-deprecating humor as she endeavors to reclaim her cool. At once irreverent, hilarious, and keenly observed, Lost in Suburbia is about what you give up to become a mother--and what you get back.
I've already read this new title and if you are a mom you really should read Lost in Suburbia, too, because mommy-ing is hard and we all need a little comical diversion now and then. Besides, you'll not only be saying "me too" and chuckling along with Tracy when you read it, you'll be laughing at your own family situation as well.
