    About this audiobook

    In her highly-anticipated nonfiction debut, humorist, popular blogger, and USA Today bestselling author, Susannah B. Lewis (Whoa! Susannah) uses dry wit and an eye for the absurd to find laughter in even the most challenging circumstances.

    Millions of online fans have flocked to Susannah B. Lewis's hysterical, take-no-prisoners videos that capture her uproarious yet deeply faithful view of the world. Now she brings to book form her keen eye for the absurd as she reveals her experiences growing up in a small Tennessee town. From the time an escaped albino panther wandered into her backyard to the Thanksgiving when an egg in the table's centerpiece hatched a baby chicken to the kind neighbors who brought casseroles in Tupperware for months—even years—after her father died when she was just eleven years old, the stories she tells delve deeply into the rich culture of the South that molded her. Clinging to the promises of God in times of grief and looking for every opportunity to laugh, Lewis is the wry yet wise girl next door who invites you to sit a spell beside her on the front porch

      There are some books that you are sad when they're over, because they were so good and relatable and this is at the top of my list. Loved, loved, loved
    • 5/5
      Listening to Susannah Lewis narrate her book is like sitting down with a dear friend. The kind of friend who lets you cry on their shoulder but will give you a good ol’ slap of reality when needed. Filled with humor and heaping doses of Godly encouragement it’s a balm to a weary soul!
