The Slippery Year by Melanie Gideon
A disarmingly hilarious and honest memoir of marriage and motherhood by a woman who realized she was sleepwalking through life and decided she needed to do something about it."A love song to family and to life.... One of the happiest books to cross our paths in a very long time." --San Francisco Chronicle
The Slippery Year chronicles her struggle to rediscover meaning and pleasure in life while navigating the comical ups and downs of cohabiting with a husband, a child, and a dog: mattress wars with her snoring mate, the psychological minefield of the school carpool line, and sending her son to sleep-away camp for the first time. Gideon manages to be laugh-out-loud funny while also reflecting beautifully and movingly on her quest to appreciate what she has.
Melanie Gideon is the author of three young adult novels, including Wife 22 and The Slippery Year: A Reflection on Happily Ever After. Wife 22 is now in development with Working Title Pictures and has been translated into thirty-one languages. She has contributed to magazines such as The New York Times, The San Francisco Chronicle, Shape, Marie Claire, The Times of London, and others. She grew up in Rhode Island and now lives with her husband and children in the Bay Area.
