Pam Moore moved halfway across the country (after giving away many possessions), found a new job (it didn't last), finished two Ironman races (and lived), dated (looking for the proverbial Jewish doctor), met her WASP husband (at a bar), settled down (bought a house), and had two children (at home).

Pam's writing flows fast and funny from the page, yet her voice possesses an introspection and poignancy that makes you want to linger over every essay. She's a champion of motherhood stories, with an honest, humble, and hilarious approach, be it with directing and producing LISTEN TO YOUR MOTHER: BOULDER for three years, or her delightful and relatable writing. Pam's legs run fast, too. I should know, because I ran with her once--for approximately four minutes. -- Ann Imig, Founder and Editor of LISTEN TO YOUR MOTHER Pam's journeys have taken her through cross-country moves, intense race training, career changes, and the building of a family. As readers, we've been lucky that she's taken us along for the ride with her one-of-a-kind brand of honesty, warmth, and wit. Her pieces leave me often nodding in commiseration, sometimes laughing out loud and sometimes wiping away a tear, and always looking forward to the next one. --Michele Vaughn, editor and author of A Storybook Life Pam Moore generously and hilariously shares her stories in this engaging essay collection that will make your face hurt from smiling. Her voice is so genuine and her wit is so wry and self-deprecating that you'll feel like you're part of her inner circle. If you love good storytelling, you will devour this book. -Stephanie Sprenger, blogger at Mommy, for Real and co-editor of The HerStories Project
