Publisher's Summary
Women struggle to say no, and even when they do say no, they feel guilty. Through an unexpected story about a hamster, the author, “Aunt Mary,” empowers women to embrace their “no.”
This conversational style memoir is based on the gritty, down-to-earth wisdom Aunt Mary shared with her niece Sarie over the years. Mary’s superpower is developing confidence in the young women around her through colorful anecdotes that capture the imagination and lead people to laugh out loud at the hilarious descriptions of women’s experiences. Women are invited to enter into this shared experience.
Mary also tells stories about handling patriarchal anger as a young girl in “Death Match 1981 Style,” and shutting down unhelpful, argumentative conversations in “Upping the Auntie.” Raw stories about overcoming pain, grief, and depression are sprinkled throughout, as Mary unflinchingly shares her vulnerability with self-confidence and grief.
The Hamster No evolved from decades of conversations with young women who are learning to claim their own power. The humorous stories provide lessons in what to do when women face challenges in their lives.
