MOMMA CULPA…(Pat's book/ journal about her foibles and follies

"As a pediatrician and health advocate for children, I have
several copies of MOMMA CULPA in my two offices. I hand them out to
parents when Brazelton and Spock just won't do. My hat and stethoscope
go off to Patricia Wynn Brown for adding light, a love of family tradition,
and a compassionate sense of humanity to the ups and downs of the
serious business of being mommas and poppas."---Angel Cadiz,
M.D. in private practice at Coral Springs, Florida
"What this book is culpable of is a deliciously cutting wit/
and as a non-parent, I intend to hand it out with the approximately
ten thousand dollars worth of faux leopard blankets, teach-your-child-ancient-Greek
learning toys, silver Bedouin rattles, and the like that I have given
to new parents--this book is worth more than all of them!"---Jacki
Lyden, N.P.R. host and author of DAUGHTER OF THE QUEEN OF SHEBA
"Pat Wynn Brown makes me laugh out loud while feeling good
inside, though the latter may have been due to the fact that I ate
an entire box of Oreo cookies while chuckling through her book. Either
way, she's edible: her book, her outlook, her take on life, her everything."--Christopher
Buckley, author of LITTLE GREEN MEN, NO WAY TO TREAT A FIRST LADY
