Desperate Households

YOU CAN'T SAY BOOBS ON SUNDAY - The Second Collection.

A 192-page collection and the second in a series. It covers about two years of Eliot's work. Telling the story of a non-traditional household--two single moms who are also sisters, their collective children, their mother, and their yappy little dog---the humor in YOU CAN'T SAY BOOBS ON SUNDAY is of the all too real, "you must be a fly on my wall!" variety.

This collection also contains biographical material on both Eliot and her characters.
