Women over 30 will feel like
they’re riding shotgun through life with Teddy Pruett as they read her raucous
and wonderful mini-memoirs. From insomnia, to “the perfect poop,” to roaches
and beyond, readers will resonate with the variety of topics that all women
encounter in everyday life.
A quilter extraordinaire, Teddy
performs her binding magic on this collection of essays that range from
thought-provoking, deep, and poignant to laugh-out-loud funny. Each story works
together to create a deeply relatable and human commentary on the world as a
“Prissy Southern Woman” sees it.
Teddy’s I Can’t Write Without
My Eyebrows embodies the warmth and authenticity of its author, making it the
perfect book club pick, coffee table addition, or gift for your mother, secret
sister, or coworker.
The book is available from
Amazon and Barnes and Noble.com.
