Eating Chocolates and Dancing in the Kitchen

This delightful collection of personal sketches of marriage and family life is certain to keep you laughing even as you are nodding over the truth of the portrayals. You'll find glimpses of yourself or someone you know around every turn. It's the little things, like serving chocolate-chip cookies for Sunday dinner or fighting fully dressed in the bathtub, that wake us up years later moaning and laughing about the hullabaloo of our married lives. Such details assume vivid and whimsical proportions in this lively narrative read by the author. Tom Plummer shows us that married life is a dance-sometimes cheek to cheek, sometimes at arm's length-a complicated series of steps and twists and dips in which two people somehow learn to move in harmony.
