SUMMARY:"Happy Mother's Daze" author Elizabeth Krakow - Reading & Sidewalk Signing at Fact & Fiction
DESCRIPTION:“Happy Mother’s Daze” author Elizabeth Krakow will be at Fact & Fiction in Downtown Missoula with not one\, but two author readings and sidewalk signings at 7:00 pm Thursday\, August 27; and at 11:00 am Saturday\, August 29\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout the Book: Elizabeth Krakow’s Happy Mother’s Daze is a heartfelt memoir that explores the chaotic and miraculous journey of motherhood. Krakow recounts her experiences raising two spirited children while grappling with exhaustion and loss. She writes candidly about her early resistance to marriage and kids\, the lingering influence of her mother who died too young\, and the comical disasters that defined her family life-from potty training mishaps and runaway toddlers to awkward in-law encounters. At its core\, this book celebrates resilience\, love\, and the transformative power of family. Krakow’s storytelling offers both comfort and comic relief\, reminding readers that while parenthood may feel overwhelming\, it is also life’s greatest teacher. Happy Mother’s Daze brims with parenting foibles\, love stories\, and loss stories .. always with an eye for the minor miracles that show God is alive and well in all the details. This is a love letter between generations\, exposing how the circles of life can stretch us all out of shape and pull us back together again. It is a celebration of resilience\, love\, the messy\, and the marvelous.About the Author: Liz Krakow is easily mortified and prefers to wear her invisibility cloak most of the time. She writes to try to make sense of life and because it is cheap therapy. She is not now\, nor will she ever be\, a grown-up. She never intended these words for publication\, but her hot hubby—that is how he has programmed himself into her phone so now it’s a well-rehearsed fact—had a bike accident that left him with way too much time on his hands\, and he needed a project. She considers the fact that he finally fell in love with her one of her life’s greatest achievements. Thanks go to him\, Rog III\, Lucy\, Meredith\, Andrew\, and her extended family of friends who inspired these stories and taught her everything she ever wanted to know about love. Liz lives happily ever after on a houseboat in northern California\, which rocks her like a cradle daily and has robbed her of all ambition. Names and facts have been tweaked to protect privacy\, but these stories really happened.
