You Can't Shoot Your Mother-In-Law

A tale as old as time, You Can't Shoot Your Mother-In-Law: The Entirely True Tales of a Daughter-In-Law captures the common power struggle between a woman and her very Southern mother-in-law. A journey from absolute aggravation to authentic affection, Tonya Reid offers a collection of hilariously relatable essays of lessons learned from not only "Mother," but other influential women in the author's life. From a singing career-ending nun to trying to triage hemorrhoids to navigating elder care for a mother-in-law who has no concept of please and thank you, every entirely true tale keeps the reader nodding in relatability, laughing until their ribs hurt, and turning the page.
