"Sex and the City" meets "Running With Scissors" in this off beat account of how one small town girl's life spirals downward into scandal and debauchery. Vicki Honeycutt gives her readers an honest, extremely graphic look at her transformation from school mouse to stripper, housewife, hooker, therapist, and bisexual swinger. She's slept with a rock star, been framed by the cops, and was marked for death by a pimp. No details have been spared in this true fictional account of some very questionable journeys. You're sure to laugh, cry, and touch yourself inappropriately

When you and your children experience the loss of someone very important to you, it can seem overwhelming. How will your family get though this difficult and life-changing experience? How do you talk with your children about what's happened? What do the children need from you? What do you need for yourself? This book offers a road map: suggestions on how to talk with your children, from little to big, about the difficult new experiences and changes you're now facing. There are straight-forward ideas and examples of how you can support your children -- responding to them in helpful ways and providing meaningful and secure structure in their changing lives. The Road to Good Mourning is an assuring, compassionate, accessible resource. It provides education and support for parents in a way that is friendly, conversational, easy to read, understand and put to good use. It was written in bite-sized pieces, especially helpful for those feeling overwhelmed by their grief and needing something in a simple, short, easy-to-read format. The Road to Good Mourning is full of everyday examples and stories that grieving parents will recognize and identify with immediately -- what to do about children attending (or not having attended) a funeral or rite of farewell, how to help children find a safe and comfortable way to share their story with others, engaging kids in talking about feelings in ways that are welcoming and even fun, and re-establishing a sense of safety and security in what has become an uncertain world. The Road to Good Mourning is full of wisdom, common sense and deep compassion for grieving families. It makes a wonderful literary companion for those struggling with raising their own grieving children or an appreciated gift for someone dealing with this difficult reality.
