Growing up with Doris - And Still Alive to Tell the Tale (Paperback)

Growing Up with Doris...And Still Alive to Tell the Tale Is a humorous memoir about growing up in the 60s and 70s with a single mother with an undiagnosed ADHD disorder. Written by her daughter Leslie, the book chronicles what it was like living with Doris, a mom who had a knack in the kitchen but lacked a 10 second delay mechanism on her actions that caused life never to be dull or boring for her children. "She was a mother who marched to the beat of a different drummer, and if she thought it, she said it --- without a filter," says Leslie. Growing Up with Doris never sways from Doris' true calling as a mother, which involved feeding her family, her children's playmates and a convent full of Notre Dame nuns. For anyone growing up in those eventful decades, Growing Up with Doris is an honest, endearing, and humorous account of a funny, one-of-a-kind mother whose wit, dedication, and tenacity is an inspiration on making the best of what life deals you. While writing the memoir, Leslie saw a theme emerging, mainly around food, so she decided to write a companion cookbook with her mother featuring 140 family recipes. The cookbook, Cooking with Doris B. is ideal for anyone beginning to cook or experienced in the kitchen.
