About this ebook:
Writer and Mom Blogger, Heather Christena Schmidt (known on her blog as The B(itch)), chronicles her life from childhood to present day. In her typically cynical and satirical style, Schmidt recants stories from her childhood that include the separation of her parents and subsequent "tragic fall" of her mother from Suburban Housewife to Schmidt's famed "Trailer Trash Mom." Schmidt later discusses her own adulthood and ongoing struggle to overcome falling into the same patterns as her mother in one hilarious tale after another. Weaving into each page the same humor and cynical outlook seen on her "B(itch)Log," Schmidt shares how she came to embrace her misanthropy to tackle life's problems and come out ahead in her ironically inspiring story.
