Please Don't Eat the Daisies


Book Description

The “refreshing . . . laugh-out-loud” #1 New York Times bestseller about life in the suburbs that was adapted into a classic film comedy (Kirkus Reviews). One day, Tony Award–winning playwright Jean Kerr packed up her four kids (and husband, Walter, one of Broadway’s sharpest critics), and left New York City. They moved to a faraway part of the world that promised a grassy utopia where daisies grew wild and homes were described as neo-gingerbread. In this collection of “wryly observant” essays, Kerr chronicles her new life in this strange land called Larchmont (TheWashington Post). It sounds like bliss—no more cramped apartments and nightmarish after-theater cocktail parties where the martinis were never dry enough. Now she has her very own washer/dryer, a garden, choice seats at the hottest new third-grade school plays (low overhead but they’ll never recoup their losses), and a fresh new kind of lunacy. In Please Don’t Eat the Daisies “Jean Kerr cooks with laughing gas” as she explores the everyday absurdities, anxieties, and joys of marriage, family, friends, home decorating, and maintaining a career—but this time with a garage! (Time).

Book Description

I had never been a religious or God believing person in all of my life.In fact, I was a blasphemous, adulterer, and sinner. Having had many bad habits, I led a life oflies and deceit. I had many success as well as downfalls. I had a terrible illness which almostended my life back in December of 2010 where I was living in the city of Manila, Philippines.On one early afternoon, as I was laying and wasting away on my bed, I suddenly saw and felt abright light dawned upon my body. I felt completely warm and safe. This light was the beginningof the descending of His Holy Spirit entering into my body. Yes, Christ came down and tookpossession of my body on this very day.For a period of 6 hours, Christ took possession of my body and moved its parts in variouspositions- twisting, turning, and squeezing; much like one would twist on a wet-dirty-rag to rinseout the dirty-filthy-water. My body was the wet rag, and the illness within me was the dirtyfilthy-water being rinsed out.I was completely awake and alert throughout the miracle. My body was possessed but my mindwas freed to witness Him. After the miracle was over, I awoke a new man, freed from mylifelong sicknesses. It was as if I had never been sick.It was then that I finally believed in God. And it was then, that He started to show me how Hehad been in my life all along and not just on that one day; for He then had His Spirit revealedeverything that He had done in my life. All of which I have documented here.And now, I am blessed to live and share it with the world.
