The intensity of Marie Simas's father's reactions to her head-strong behavior is so often disturbing, it borders on horrific abuse. Yet, she is irrepressible. Read it. Get it. You won't regret it. --Carol Leonard, Author of Lady's Hands, Lion's HeartA most entertaining collection of childhood stories that will both shock and delight you. --Patricia Fry, Author and EditorDescription: Do Tampons Take Your Virginity? is a memoir about what happens when you grow up in an insane Catholic family. Surprisingly funny, the author's candid writing exposes the endurance it takes to survive a stifling, oppressive upbringing. It's an emotional roller coaster from start to finish. Each essay is written in sharp episodic chapters to mimic the author's real experiences, which range from brutal to hilarious, and everything in between. This memoir shouldn't be missed!
