Customer Reviews
You'll Laugh and Cry
I've watched Louis Anderson my whole life and always sensed a troubled soul was behind all the comedy. I am not a child of alcoholic parents but know plenty that were. He tells funny family stories and many will make you cry. His greatest gift is helping others come to terms with their dysfunctional families. This book and "Hey Mom" are certainly worth reading.
