This is a collection of articles from Sonia Jones's humor column called "Life Ever Laughing," orinally published in "The Banner" magazine. The topics range from warbling church mice to operatic moose calls, and from chaos on the farm to wild roosters running amok in the Dutch countryside. But life also has its darker side. There are some poignant stories about a grieving linguistics professor, a plucky Russian expatriate in Paris, and a dog that sniffs out his owner's cancer. There is also a longer piece at the end of the book about the author's own struggle to save her baby's life.
