Synopsis:
Bestselling author Fulghum believes that "truth is stranger than fiction" and proves it in this new collection of wise and witty inspirational essays that presents his thoughts on: the secret life (that nonstop epic playing inside our heads, where all our best-laid dreams are hatched); barbershop mythology; the shifting significance of nicknames over the course of a lifetime; and the circumstances of one's own conception. Contemplate along with him the revelations afforded by ironing a shirt, a rousing session of musical chairs, or the ethical struggle to decide a poinsettia's fate. Acknowledge that love indeed transcends the ravages of time, and that some family secrets can be gifts of joy.
