<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><b>With wry wit and touching humor, Louie Anderson, <i>New York Times </i>bestselling author and Emmy Award-winning comedian currently starring in Zach Galifianakis's<i> Baskets</i>, shares his journey of turning life's challenges into joy, as well as plenty of wisdom he's still discovering from his late mother. </b> <p/><i>"I started out writing these letters to my mom, but a few friends said I should write a book. I said 'okay' because next to 'we'll see, ' 'okay' is as non-committal as you can get. But somehow, I stuck with it. I hope you like it. I hope that after you read it, you'll write or call your own mom--and dad, sister, brother, cousin, nephew. Or have lunch with them. Or breakfast. It doesn't have to be lunch. But do it now. Don't wait like I did." </i>--Louie <p/>Louie Anderson has channeled his beloved mom, Ora Zella Anderson, in his stand-up routine for decades, but she died before seeing him reach his greatest heights, culminating in his breakout TV role as Christine Baskets, the mesmerizing character she inspired. <i>Hey Mom </i>is Louie's way of catching her up on the triumphs, disappointments, and continuing challenges in life. Full of heartache, but also great hope, and of course--given Louie's inimitable comedic voice--laugh-out-loud stories and his trademark observations on life's many absurdities, <i>Hey Mom </i>shows a poignant side of Louie you may not know, and proves that he is one of the most nuanced and wide-ranging comics working today.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>"<i>Hey Mom</i> is an articulate, insightful and openly emotional series of letters that will resonate with those recovering from traumatic childhoods and with fans of Anderson's 1989 book, <i>Dear Dad</i>."-- "Shelf Awareness"<br>
