Publisher's Synopsis
Looking for those sunny side up eggs in life? It doesn't always pan out that way. Life is similar to eggs in that it can turn out so differently, depending on preparation. This story is about Elaine, her husband Richard, their daughter Mira, granddaughter Leslie and their egg-like situations. Elaine's life is runny, sometimes totally scrambled, and at times cracked, like a hardboiled egg. Richard's life is an omelet; it doesn't matter what is put into it, he remains clueless. Mira was on a continuous hunt for the easy over, soft life. Once out of her shell she ?nally discovered life can be sunny side up. Leslie turns from poached softly, to overcooked, hard as rubber. This story starts out with Mira's birth but pushes back time to look at the tragic life of her mother, Elaine, and the sad moments of her father Richard.
June Volgman was born and raised in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. Her ?rst writing experiences were in the 1950's, when she wrote poems about the Milwaukee Braves baseball players. These are saved along with her ?rst story, "I Died a Thousand Deaths." It told about the love/hate relationship she and her girlfriends had with the teenage boys in the neighborhood.
Now in her retirement years, she is back to writing. This book is ?ctionalized, with a mixture of drama, humor, mystery, and hope. Her future plans include a non-diet, diet book. children's books and songs.
She likes to encourage people to write, especially older people. Everyone has a story to tell, or at least some interesting little tidbits. Once written they can be passed down to future generations and end up as real treasures.
