Confessions... To Change Your Life

Know how sometimes you buy an object and within a week you think: "Good God! How did I ever live without this thing? My life is now entirely complete!" Yeah, well this happens to me a fair amount. Readers of this blog will recall my recent love affair with a certain new paper shredder for example.

I felt similarly when I purchased my Swiffer Wet Jet, aka, The Magic Mop, two years ago. Kids, let's just say it took my mopping to a whole nother level: A level in which I actually started mopping. Fan-freaking-tastic!

But why am I waxing poetic about an old mop, you ask? Well, because when I read the premise to fellow GCC'er Melanie Lynne Hauser's book, CONFESSIONS OF SUPERMOM, in which her main character loads her Swiffer Wet Jet with every household cleanser she owns, aims, and fires... and passes out, overcome by the fumes, I thought to myself, now here's a character I can relate to!

The character in question then gains super powers, which is another something I can relate to, though I can't tell you why... But instead of me saying anything more, look at some of these reviews:
"Like its title character, this debut novel has a secret identity...it's unexpectedly poignant and packs an emotional punch despite the cheery veneer... at the heart of this story is a narrative about a lonely, wronged woman who just wants to do right by her children and stand up to an uncontrollable world. Hauser slips in soliloquies on motherhood and womanhood that, though brief, are moving, showing us Birdie Lee's heart and in that, the wishes and dreams of super moms everywhere. " Publishers Weekly

“This silly but fun twist on the superhero tale comes packaged with a socially responsible message about consumerism, but it doesn’t get in the way of the high jinks.” Booklist

So in addition to purchasing a new object to change your life today, definitely pick up a copy of CONFESSIONS OF SUPERMOM. If not for you, then for a Swiffer Wet Jet Loving Mom near you.
