The Sweet Potato Queens'
Guide to Raising Children for Fun and Profit is a hilarious (though not scientifically tested) wink
at the time-honored mysteries of parenting, because anybody who has ever had a
kid or has ever known one knows that the experience is neither fun nor
profitable -- so you might as well laugh!
As each generation begins its hopeful, happy, and, yes, sometimes harrowing journey as Parent and Child, together they spawn a new body of "knowledge," the nuances of which will elude the Experts every time. Here are stories of the things we do for Mother Love -- or, the most incredibly full-time volunteer job ever -- and tips guaranteed not to be found in any other parenting guide.

Review by Rose Thornton:
Anyone who is familiar with Jill Conner
Browne’s series of Sweet Potato Queen books has likely already read this one
because her work is addictive and if you read one, you will want to read them
all! Browne is the female Dave Barry of written humor based on real-life. This
is another delightful book of hers. If you have yet to read of the Sweet Potato
Queens, you are in for a special treat. This book, like the others, is easy to
read, well-organized, includes many helpful tips and recipes, and above all is
hilarious! I highly recommend it.
Thanks
