Commonplace wisdom is, oddly enough, remarkably uncommon. Everyone has opinions, everyone has advice, but not everyone has the keen sense of turning lemons into lemonade—with great good humor—that is demonstrated by Maggie Anderson in Saving Your Sanity. From childhood memories of life on the family porch and her father’s improbable encounter with the Hobo King through struggling with knitting and watercolors and learning to appreciate the simple things in life, Maggie will trigger your own precious memories. You will find yourself pulled into her world with glee. Remember that time when you started riding a bicycle and fell over and over again before getting it right? Or when you started piano lessons and wondered how you could ever get both hands to work together? Or the months that you and your spouse spent struggling to make ends meet yet discovered the joy of a (free) day at the beach, walk in the woods, or pillow fight? Maybe you’ve experienced the terror and anxiety of a loved one’s illness and have come away treasuring each day—each moment, each meal, each meaningful glance—in a new way. Maggie has been there and back again, and she’s here to tell you about it. She won’t preach. She won’t scold. She won’t pretend to be better, smarter, or more talented than you. What she will do is help you to view your life with a fresh perspective and appreciate the blessings and obstacles that come your way. And she does it in deceptively short anecdotes, each of which still manages to create an entire world for you to inhabit. Every page is a breath of fresh air. She’s funny, irreverent, and passionate about everything she does. That humor, irreverence and passion suffuse Saving Your Sanity. By the time you finish reading, you’ll feel like you’ve known her for years, and you’ll be glad you did. Maggie takes incidents from her life, small and large, and uses them to illustrate how her indomitable spirit and her positive attitude have saved her from adversity. Perhaps they can save you, too. You only have to turn to any page to see for yourself.
Maggie Anderson lives in the White Mountains of New Hampshire with her husband Hank and a self-absorbed black cat named Cry Baby. When the author isn't braving New Hampshire's frigid winters, providing transfusions for the black flies or fighting off mosquitoes the size of humming birds, she spends much of her time trying to keep her teddy bear, Ethan From, out of harm's way
