Review
Each piece is humorous, yet the core of her stories illuminate some basic aspect of the human condition. -- Henri Pensis - WUFT Station Mangager
This book is a bedshaker. Stifling my laughter causes body-quakes, sending major shockwaves to the other side of the mattress. -- Gary Kirkland - The Gainesville Sun, June 17, 2000
Product Description
These semi-autobiographical vignettes humorously prove that not only can you go home again; you've never really left. Mom's on the Loose chronicles everyday life events that continue to influence the person we keep reinventing ourselves into.

Product Description
These semi-autobiographical vignettes humorously prove that not only can you go home again; you've never really left. Mom's on the Loose chronicles everyday life events that continue to influence the person we keep reinventing ourselves into.
This collection of delightful essays share events from Shelley's youth in Arkansas, such as the day the Thanksgiving football game ends in a knockout; her stint as a transplanted southerner; her days as a homeroom mother, including the one when she is stopped by a police officer for speeding the party cupcakes to school; as well as the unfogettable day that the snake shows up at the family room window.
After many years, she is finally free to pursue her own wishes and desires, yet her life experiences are never far from the core of whom she was, and whom she has become.
Only now does she have the time to appreciate the mundane yet sometime quirky events that take place in our everyday lives which leads to answering the question, "Just what exactly does one do when the kids finally grow up, move out and the dog is lying under the grand piano, depressed?"
