Self-Help
This is a story about the year I exploded into
flames...which turns out to be more common than you’d think
among forty-something humans. Yeah, we can hold it together
in our thirties, with a raft of hair products and semi-tall
nonfat half-caf beverages....Come the forties, though,
cracks begin to appear....Gourmet coffee splats; the wig
slips askew. In other words, my friends, THE WHEELS COME OFF. Sandra Tsing Loh is the fiercest, funniest, and most
incredibly honest voice to emerge from the "mommy war"
debates. Here she fires away with her trademark satire of
societal and personal irks, prompted by her own midlife
crisis, when she realizes she can’t afford private school
for her daughter–and her only alternative is her
neighborhood’s beyond-repair public school. Mother on Fire documents Loh’s "year of living dangerously"
among pompous school admissions officials, Prius-driving
parents, vindictive bosses, and old friends with new money
as she first kisses ass–and then kicks it.
