What people are saying.

  • “Mel Miskimen is the one writer whose essays come in and I drop everything so I can read them. They are always funny and thoughtful and insightful. Mel takes the mundane and finds the humor in it."

    — Lesley Jane Seymour founder Covey Club

  • “Well, I cried 5 times in the first chapter. But I also laughed out loud more times throughout than I can count. Highly recommend- sweet, heartwarming, witty, funny, and lovely. I listened to this on WPR Chapter a Day, but definitely plan to re-read it on my own..”

    — Tara, Goodreads, review of Sit. Stay. Heal.

  • I know a good book when it makes me cry every couple of chapters. Mel is a fantastic writer, tugging on heartstrings (and dog collars!). I read this book shortly after moving away from Wisconsin, and it made me nostalgic for the wintery, green-and-gold state. A fast, entertaining read I could not put down!
