I laughed till I fell on the floor!
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 22 years ago
This is my favorite of all Mormon humor books. The Paradise View ward could be any ward of the church, but especially one here in Utah. The funeral scene is about the funniest thing I've ever read. It's reassuring to know that we all feel inadequate in our callings, feel lonely at home sometimes, and that every smiling face in church on Sunday masks a lot of problems inside. But if we can laugh about it, we're ahead of the game. Every Mother's Day I remember the brother who decided to give all the moms frozen TV dinner instead of flowers. Didn't work.If you think Mormons don't have a sense of humor, you need to check this book out. Best of her books so far.
DID KIDD VISIT MY WARD TO WRITE THIS BOOK?
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 24 years ago
This is such a great novel about the inner workings of a LDS ward that I thought she must be talking about my own ward. I read this book for an assignment in college and have read it several times since. Easy to read, funny, and yet Kidd brings home a great insight into Mormon culture, that, only until recently, has been shaded and guarded. Kidd is a great LDS author.
