Welcome to My Planet

Life just isn't The Love Boat for nearly-thirty Shannon the tongue-in-cheek heroine of <b>Welcome to My Planet</b>. Credit cards don't pay themselves no obvious mate has appeared with her name pinned to his collar and a job doing new-product research for a fledgling software company doesn't quite make ends meet in the meaning-of-life department. Then there's the loser boyfriend another boyfriend her therapist and unforgettably Shannon's mom Flo with her unrecognizable leftover casseroles and quirky advice for her daughter. In a fit of debt and with a bruised heart Shannon moves back home to witness the day-to-day tremors of her parents' own marriage. This is a dark-and-light tale-freshly witty and poignant-told by a young woman with a universal touch.
