Publisher Description
The incomparable Lisa Scottoline, along with daughter Francesca, is back with more wild and wonderful wit and wisdom: My Nest Isn’t Empty, It Just Has More Closet Space. Critics and readers loved Lisa Scottoline’s first collection of true-life stories, which only encouraged her—now she’s back with these all-new, exciting adventures. She’s farther down the road now, and the scenery has changed—ex-husbands Thing One and Thing Two are in her rear-view mirror, daughter Francesca has moved into an apartment, and Lisa’s finding the silver lining in her empty nest, which has lots more room for her shoes. And some things have stayed the same—Mother Mary is still the feistiest octogenarian on the planet, who won’t part with her recipe for tomato sauce or her thirty-year old bra. In this book Lisa and Francesca spill all their family secrets—which sound a lot like yours, if you understand that three generations of women is the formula for spontaneous combustion. Inspired by her weekly column entitled, “Chick Wit” for The Philadelphia Inquirer, this is a book you’ll have to put down—just to stop laughing.

“I love how this book is set up. It is just a bunch of little stories and that makes it perfect to carry with you. Yep i am that person who has a book in the car I mean what else should I do when waiting on kids to get out of school or run into a friends house. Not only are they nice and short giving you something to read in 5 min or less you really could set this down and not pick it up for days and its ok. You can still follow because there is no plot to it just stories about her, her daughter, Mother Mary, and her dogs. I read it in a day because I just had too. The stories will have you laughing. Francesca wrote one about how to talk to mom. you know we are all waiting for that boy to grow up and write us the adult version of that book. The story of the new TV and the appliance’s on revolt. You will love it I promise guys and girls alike.”
