Disenchanted Evenings A Girlfriend To Girlfriend Survival Guide by Maria Sude

The book signed by the two gregarious authors, Barb Ewing and Maria Sude, who were there on location doing a book signing. Ms. Ewing and Ms. Sude have written a humorous account which goes way beyond the literal foibles and eccentricities of men as articulated in this well-done survival guide they have used humor as an antidote to the pain which sometimes one feels after a loss – whether it be the loss of a parent, a job, a spouse, or any serious relationship.

The authors are also generously donating a portion of their royalties to help the Domestic Violence Project in Stark County, Ohio, and they have spoken before innumerable women’s groups about “life choices.” Ms. Ewing, a prolific language arts teacher in her own right, was President of the Junior League of Canton about 5 years ago and this year was named “Educator of the Year” by Phi Delta Kappa, an education honorary. She is a community-minded individual and is well-respected by her students. She changed my life around! When I had her in class, I learned so much about language arts, but, more importantly, she taught me about life! She believed in me when no one else could or would!

This book is a light-hearted and humorous account of some of the foibles that a person experiences when dealing with the opposite sex anyone (especially some of the reviewers) who cannot see the humor in these pages must indeed lead a very depressing life! When I have kids, I pray that Ms. Ewing will still be teaching! She is a warm, caring teacher with a big heart!v
