Book Review/ Giveaway: Don't Call Me Ma'am by Anna Mitchell

*** THIS GIVEAWAY IS CLOSED *** 

Synopsis: In her memoir, JUST DON'T CALL ME MA'AM: How I Ditched the South, Forgot My Manners, and Managed to Survive My Twenties with (Most of) My Dignity Still Intact, Anna Mitchael tackles the question of how to find your own path to happiness; a topic she learned much about during her twenty-something adventure-life filled with big jobs, big cities, big loves, and big disappointments.

Through her trials, Anna realized that she would never find what she was looking for until she stopped to find herself. JUST DON'T CALL ME MA'AM is written with unmitigated honesty and disarming humor; it's a hilariously truthful tale about the cathartic embarrassments that we all go through as young women. From her first shaving experience to her first Brazilian; from her first crush, to her first heartbreak, Mitchael weaves a fine web of a story both entertaining and empowering urging that, even when all feels lost, we must pick ourselves up and go on. disclosure newman communications

About the Author:  Anna Mitchael began her writing career by instructing patrons of her lemonade stand to buy some "or else." She enjoyed threatening people so much that she made a career out of it, and spent her twenties as a copywriter in advertising agencies across the nation. Just Don't Call Me Ma'am, her first published book, is the project that kept her sane throughout those years.

Anna is a reformed nomad who recently returned home to Texas. She will tolerate y'all but reserves the right to raise heck when anyone calls her ma'am. To find out more about Anna visit annamitchael.com. Or you can read the daily chronicles of her life (with a side of extra-spicy jalapenos, please) at annamitchael.com/happinessproject.

Review: I think this book has the LONGEST subtitle I have ever seen on a book cover! And the funniest! Anyone who was raised Southern and went North or out West will readily laugh at the title and have a severe empathy for the author acclimating to her new surroundings. The book is laugh out loud funny at times, sweet and endearing at others, and sometimes you just want to shake her and as her grandma says, tell her to get on with life. her section on vacationing with her parent in Las Vegas makes you want to hang out with her parents! Not to kill the ending of the book, but if you look at Anna's site you will find out she found the love of her life a deux-she gave birth to a healthy baby boy on May 16! Congrats to Anna -may you have everything you were looking for in this book!
