Why read it?

1 author picked Forever, Erma as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?

Erma was a genius at tapping family emotions while making you laugh. A timeless treasure. I keep Forever, Erma near me so I can pick it up and read a few of her essays. She always makes me smile. She nails family life with humor and grace. She makes me laugh and cry. Though written many years ago, her stories are still timely.

From Jeanne's list on women balancing life and family.
