Funny, feisty and fabulous, Em Rusciano's insights into her world of mayhem, marriage and motherhood are a laugh-out-loud, cry-out-loud balm for the soul.
From her exploits at the Miss Sheila Fancypants School of Dance and her efforts to secure a solo at her end-of-year performance to embracing the spotlight as an Australian Idol contestant and her deep and abiding love for John Farnham, Em Rusciano is a self-confessed bottomless pit of anxiety with a taste for glitter.
An honest, hilarious, at times heart-wrenching memoir of Em's life. Hearing her tell her own story was tough at times, especially when she spoke of the loss of people close to her. Even if you're not familiar with Em, this is a great memoir, but be warned, it's a little sweary at times.
