"Readers who think this book will be depressing (and who wouldn't from the title?) will find themselves laughing out loud, and moved to tears."--The Times-Picayune (New Orleans), "From the heartbreaking to the sidesplitting, the magic of this book is in the details.." --Mobile Register, Readers who think this book will be depressing (and who wouldn't from the title?) will find themselves laughing out loud, and moved to tears., All her life, Jeanne's mother, Velma, was a glamorous woman, an excellent wife, and a demanding mother. After Jeanne left the house for college and marriage, she breathed a sigh of relief at the escape. However, years later, as her father grew older and near death, he asked her to promise to take care of Velma after he died. She agreed, not knowing what the situation would entail. It soon becomes apparent, though, that doing so means exile in a stagnant Louisiana town with a woman who is slowly losing her mind. Jeanne reflects on her own disappointing life as she learns how to let go of her anger she feels toward her mother for past wrongs and now deal with her as the patient she is. Jeanne is frequently a bitter narrator, and her distasteful personality often overshadows the sadness the reader feels for her for having to care for a dying and incoherent parent., M.A. Harper's spirited novel, The Worst Day of My Life, So Far tackles a difficult subject with wit and candor. Stuck in small-town Auletta, La., Jeanne Roth is run ragged caring for her Alzheimer's-afflicted mother. But it is her realization that her whole life has been lived in the shadow of her parents' perfect marriage that truly exhausts her, making her reevaluate her relationship with her ex-husband and college-age son. Funny, sharp and tough-minded, this will appeal especially to relatives of Alzheimer's sufferers, but deserves to be noticed by general readers as well., PRAISE FOR THE WORST DAY OF MY LIFE, SO FAR "Readers who think this book will be depressing (and who wouldn't from the title?) will find themselves laughing out loud, and moved to tears."-- The Times-Picayune (New Orleans) "A story of real grace and power."-- Kirkus Reviews "An intimate portrait of a mother and a daughter, touching upon sacrifice, forgiveness, frustration, alienation, and understanding."-- The Advocate, "An intimate portrait of a mother and a daughter, touching upon sacrifice, forgiveness, frustration, alienation, and understanding."--The Advocate, PRAISE FOR THE WORST DAY OF MY LIFE, SO FAR "Readers who think this book will be depressing (and who wouldn't from the title?) will find themselves laughing out loud, and moved to tears."--The Times-Picayune (New Orleans) "A story of real grace and power."--Kirkus Reviews "An intimate portrait of a mother and a daughter, touching upon sacrifice, forgiveness, frustration, alienation, and understanding."--The Advocate --, An intimate portrait of a mother and a daughter, touching upon sacrifice, forgiveness, frustration, alienation, and understanding., PRAISE FORTHE WORST DAY OF MY LIFE, SO FAR "Readers who think this book will be depressing (and who wouldn't from the title?) will find themselves laughing out loud, and moved to tears."--The Times-Picayune(New Orleans) "A story of real grace and power."--Kirkus Reviews "An intimate portrait of a mother and a daughter, touching upon sacrifice, forgiveness, frustration, alienation, and understanding."--The Advocate

Synopsis
In The Worst Day of My Life, So Far , acclaimed novelist M. A. Harper takes us into the complex mind of Jeanne Roth, a middle-aged woman forced to return to a home state she'd rather forget. An unlikely caretaker, Jeanne must come to terms with a past filled with the shadows of her mother--a once vibrant femme fatale now suffering from Alzheimer's. As she watches her mother's grace and charm slowly slip away, Jeanne is forced to reflect on her own goals and find a new hero to look up to. An expert at analyzing others while neglecting her own troubles, Jeanne is suddenly squaring off directly with the one person she has tried to avoid: herself. With witty and acerbic prose, Harper tells the poignant, yet hilarious, story of one woman's journey toward self-discovery and confidence. Through the ups and downs of Jeanne, we gradually learn how important it is to confront the thoughts and worries that plague our own lives. A timely legend that shows there are no dead ends in life-only long roads-- The Worst Day of My Life, So Far will make you laugh and cry and want more., In The Worst Day of My Life, So Far, acclaimed novelist M.
