The Slippery Year

ebook
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.
