| Sandra Tsing Loh | Mother on Fire: A True Motherf%#$@ Story About Parenting! | Crown | 2008 | | Radio commentator and performer Loh (A Year in Van Nuys) has penned a hilarious memoir with the same title as her one-woman comedy show, which ran for seven months in Los Angeles. The story begins as a droll little breeze that soon sucks the reader into a frenzied whirlwind as Loh recounts her harrowing quest to find a suitable kindergarten for Hannah, her four-year-old daughter (Loh habitually calls Isabel, her two-year-old, simply The Squid). All parents who have searched for an ideal school for their youngster (and even those who haven't) will be snared by Loh's crackling prose. |
