WHY SHE IS "JUST BEING YOUR MOTHER" AND OTHER MOM MISSIVES
Doree Shafrir and Jessica Grose, authors of
LOVE, MOM: BRILLIANT, GOOFY, BRILLIANT MESSAGES FROM HOME (April 1, 2009; Hardcover; $17.99)

Creators of the online sensation PostcardsFromYoMomma.com, Doree Shafrir and Jessica Grose, bring us an alternative to the sickeningly sweet, customary Mother's Day gifts. LOVE MOM: Poignant, Goofy, Brilliant Messages from Home (Hyperion; April 1, 2009; $17.99; Hardcover) is a collection of laugh-out-loud emails, text messages, and instant messages from technologically inept mothers to their adult children. Shafrir and Grose confirm that you are not alone if your mother has ever sent you the entire contents of her email in the subject line or has needed you to explain the complicated inner-workings of AOL Instant Messenger. Simultaneously syrupy and hilarious, LOVE, MOM reminds us all that our mothers are the ones who know us best - and, of course, nag us the most. This Mother's Day, show your mother you love her with this by giving her the gift of laughter!
