Don't Forget to Sing in the Lifeboats: Uncommon Wisdom for Uncommon Times

Don't Forget to Sing in the Lifeboats: Uncommon Wisdom for Uncommon Times

by RossPetras (Author), KathrynPetras (Author), Kathryn Petras (Author), Ross Petras (Author)

Synopsis

Uncommon times call for uncommon wisdom. It's inspiring to hear from people who've graduated from the school of hard knocks, yet kept a sense of humor. People like Twain, Voltaire, Oscar Wide. People who've said the thing so well that we all wish we'd said it. People who've been there, done that, and refuse to sugarcoat what they've learned. From Kathryn and Ross Petras, curators of craziness (and surprising smarts) comes a timely collection of reassuring reality.
