Mother on Fire: A True Motherf%#$@ Story About Parenting!

This is a story about the year I exploded into flames...which turns out to be more common than youâ€™d think among forty-something humans. Yeah, we can hold it together in our thirties, with a raft of hair products and semi-tall nonfat half-caf beverages....Come the forties, though, cracks begin to appear....Gourmet coffee splats; the wig slips askew. In other words, my friends, THE WHEELS COME OFF.

Sandra Tsing Loh is the fiercest, funniest, and most incredibly honest voice to emerge from the "mommy war" debates. Here she fires away with her trademark satire of societal and personal irks, prompted by her own midlife crisis, when she realizes she canâ€™t afford private school for her daughterâ€“and her only alternative is her neighborhoodâ€™s beyond-repair public school.

Mother on Fire documents Lohâ€™s "year of living dangerously" among pompous school admissions officials, Prius-driving parents, vindictive bosses, and old friends with new money as she first kisses assâ€“and then kicks it.
