Endorsements and Review Life Among the Lilliputians
"On the surface, Judy DiGregorio's vignettes may seem light and simple. They are anything but. These short pieces delve into the things that really matter: the love for grandchildren, the complexities of marriage, the way we'll do anything (even carry an entire newspaper route) for our children. These essays are hilarious, touching, and often profound. This is one of those books that make you feel better about being a human being."
--Silas House, author of The Coal Tattoo and A Parchment of Leaves
******
"Judy DiGregorio will make you smile, then chuckle, then belly laugh. She helps us recognize the humor in our own rich lives."
--Darnell Arnoult, author of a novel, Sufficient Grace, and a book of poetry, What Travels with Us
******
"Judy DiGregorio has a talent for finding humor in everyday events. In these highly personal pieces, she transforms the most uncomfortable social blunders into comical situations and, laughing all the way, sweeps us along for the ride."
--Jeanne McDonald, author of a novel, Water Dreams, and co-author, with husband Fred Brown, of Growing Up Southern and The Serpent Handlers
******
"Judy DiGregorio writes with a joi (e) de vivre, self-deprecating wit and a largeness of spirit that could only come from one as big-hearted, brassy and generous as she is in person. You'll love these upbeat stories and anecdotes spun from the stuff of her life and relations. I heartily endorse this book."
--Don Williams, writer and founding editor of New Millennium Writings
******
"Erma Bombeck has a worthy successor in Judy DiGregorio. You'll laugh yourself silly over her comical attempts to charm the in-laws under trying circumstances or deliver her son’s papers when he falls ill. Judy has a real talent for making the events of everyday life enormously entertaining."
--Carolyn Jourdan, author of Heart in the Right Place
