Summary: | "A poignant and moving memoir-in-essays from stand-up comedian Aida Rodriguez on the power of overcoming hardship and transforming pain into laughter"-- Rodriguez, now a stand-up comedian, has been kidnapped (twice, by family), lived through a difficult marriage, and suffered homelessness with her children in Los Angeles. But through it all she never lost her sense of humor. Here Rodriguez turns tragedy and pain into comedy, charting her many ups and downs in life. Her book is endearing, shocking, and ultimately life-affirming. -- adapted from jacket
