GIVE-AWAY - Kersten Campbell's Confessions of a Completely (In)Sane Mother


This week, humorist Kersten Campbell is giving away a copy of her book, Confessions of a Completely (In)Sane Mother.

Read three reviews below to find out more about this fun book.
Overwhelmed? Tired? Stressed? Then you need the laughter therapy that is in this book!

"This is a must have book, kept within reach at all times, so when you feel like hanging your child upside down inside his/her closet for misdeeds of the past 5 minutes, you grab this book instead - lock yourself in the bathroom -press earplugs deep into the ear canals so children's noises cannot penetrate - and open this book. Within a few minutes the misdeed will have been forgotten because you will be too busy giggling, chuckling, or outright laughing while thinking to yourself "I guess it could be worse."
~ JoAnn Arnold, author of Prince Etcheon and the Secret of the Ancient

"OK, everyone, you simply must run to the closest bookstore and get Kersten's book--not just for you, but for every LDS mother you know ...I got mine in the mail today and not only am I LOVING it, but my 13 yr old daughter can't keep her hands off it. She struggles with reading, but Kersten, your book has her mesmerized. Your Confessions book, Kersten, is now on my top ten list. What an excellent job."
~ C.S. Bezas, author of Powerful Tips for Powerful Teachers.

"Kersten Campbell is a comic genius. At the end of a long day, I picked up her book and within fifteen minutes was laughing from deep in my belly. She has a delightful sense of timing and while reading her book, you get the feeling you are listening to a stand-up comic. I kept picturing my grandson getting up to all those tricks and decided I must purchase this for my daughter! It definitely puts motherhood’s most frustrating moments in perspective. I highly recommend this as a gift for mothers and grandmothers. It would make a great Mother’s Day gift."
~ GG Vandagriff, author of The last Waltz, and many other novels.

Kersten Campbell has always loved book,s and chocolate doughnuts. When she was a young girl her parents had her hearing tested because she would be so involved in reading a book that she couldn't hear what was going on in the outside world. There was nothing they could do about the chocolate doughnuts.

She grew up in Wisconsin until she turned sixteen, when her family moved to Boise, Idaho. When she protested the move, her father said, "Don't worry, you'll probably find some nice Mormon boy to marry."

Confused, Kersten replied, "What's a Mormon?"

She soon found out, and joined the LDS church at age twenty-one. She earned a bachelor's degree from the University of Idaho in English Literature and has written many articles and stories for church publications and other magazines. When not writing, she enjoys reading, painting, family history research, playing the clarinet in a city band, playing with children, and eating chocolate doughnuts. She is currently working on more humor essays, a young adult fiction novel, and a spiritual book about motherhood.

Kersten and that "nice Mormon boy," live in Washington with their five beautiful children. Click HERE to visit Kersten’s blog.
