I Paint Gophers!

In her conversational wholly irreverent voice Eve Crawfords creative memoir I Paint Gophers! traces her chaotic years growing up in a family of four unruly girls with a mother who would rather be teaching birth control in India (if only she could mutter the word penis) and a father the lone male of the pack who yearns for World War 2 when as a lieutenant in the navy people followed his orders. It follows her life as an actor as she balances her career as the Wheres Waldo of film with the daunting challenge of raising two boys as a single mom. Her hilarious stories both amuse and cut to the heart with an approach to life that is robust and full of love.
