あらすじ・解説
Have you ever wondered if the life of the woman standing next to you in the checkout line is as weird as yours? Could it be possible you’re trapped in a bizarre reality show, where the object of the game is to get the crazy lady to flip out just one more time? If so, this book confirms you are in good company.
I Was in Love with a Short Man Once is a collection of stories written from the perspective of a crazy Southern Irish gal. Follow her as she reflects on growing up as a child of limited means in South Florida; managing a self-financed college education; balancing work as a federal official with the demands of single motherhood; and navigating the amusing challenges of being a second-time-around wife.
These tales reflect the distinctive surroundings of South Florida through stories such as “Flagpole.” Other stories here include “Kool-Aid Mom” and “Zamboni” and reveal the life lessons that our children teach us. More stories round out the author’s quirky observations, including “Naked in a Hot Tub in Vegas” and “Crazy Virgo Tendencies.”
"Dalferes is a fresh voice in the realm of funny women who write about their own experiences.... With chapter titles like ‘The Patron Saint of Parking’, ‘My Water Broke Because I Was Married to a Prick’, and ‘Kool-Aid Mom’, everyone will find something to like." (Betsy Ashton, author, Mad Max: Unintended Consequences)
"The author’s candid observations, unforgiving attention to details, and lively pace made it too compelling to be qualified as anything less than a page-turner. I would be remiss if I didn’t mention the humility and optimism that permeates her writing and, oh, the wit…that dry, self-deprecating funny-as-hell southern wit!" (Megan’s Blog and Book Reviews)
