Humorist Tracy Beckerman’s kids have flown the coop, which has left her plenty of time to further settle into the happy life of a happy wife to a loving husband. Flowers are blooming, tails are wagging ... and the ducks are on the verge of a hostile takeover.

In Happy Wife, Happy Life: Confessions of a Suburban Mom — a collection of top hits from her nationally syndicated column, “Lost in Suburbia” — Beckerman forges a path through the blissful chaos of her idyllic life in suburban New Jersey. She somehow manages to keep her cool despite an unending wave of dining disasters, awkward conversations with the doctor’s office receptionist and the horrors of *gasp* aging!

In her fourth book, Beckerman lays it all out with the refreshing honesty, humor and sage advice that you’d expect from your best friend in the ‘burbs.

She is an award-winning author, speaker, and syndicated humor columnist who has appeared on numerous TV shows, including NBC’s Today Show, CBS This Morning, CBS Sunday Morning with Mo Rocca and Good Day New York. Her honors for writing include the prestigious Writer’s Guild of America award, a CLIO, an International Film and Television award and a New York Emmy®.  She has been voted “America’s Top Blogger” by The Balancing Act on Lifetime Television, has won a National Society of Newspaper Columnists award for humor writing, and was the Global Humor Award Winner of the coveted Erma Bombeck Writing Competition.  She lives in New Jersey with her husband and her dogs, Riley and Bowie.
