SHIRLEY, YOU CAN DO IT! What do you get when you combine a mother, a wife, and a friend, with a helping of humor, a smidgen of self-help and a dash of dead-on wisdom? You get Shirley, a woman just like you: looking for answers, trying to stretch the 24-hour-day a little bit longer, and constantly seeking to better herself, even when her 'self' is just fine how it is. Now, in this hilarious, home-hitting new series, you can follow Shirley through the adventure that is daily life-and you just might learn a few things about yourself along the way... CHECK THE LOST AND FOUND, MY MIND IS MISSING! The holiday season is approaching and, despite the endless airing of It's a Wonderful Life , Shirley's life seems anything but wonderful. As usual, she's spread herself way too thin-between Christmas shopping, her kids' recitals, her husband's office party and her work-and she's feeling thick enough to fill out Santa's suit. But a few angels-including those in her very own family-go a long way to remind Shirley what Christmas is all about...and that the best presents are the ones that can't be wrapped.
I picked this up a few months ago and started it, then misplaced it. But in 2 days, I finished it! A quick and easy read. I felt that I could relate to "Shirley" in so many ways and on many levels. The author has created a character that is so believable, is a great example and is NOT perfect! I liked that a lot. I can't wait to read her other books in the Shirley line. I laughed and cried, was moved and learned all at the same time! Thank you Toni!
Christmas Will Never Be The Same

I read this story and I know I will never think of the holiday season in the same way. When I get rushed and stressed, I will stop and remember what it's all about. Thank you! For A wonderful story and a true to life experience. I have my shopping for the holidays taken care of already. Only I want my friends to read your book BEFORE Christmas. It's the kind of book that I want to read again and again, to remind me what all of the fuss is reall about.
