Ever done something so ridiculous you wish you had a hole to hide in? Well - in Paula's life, that's called "Wednesday." Join the author on her "small-town girl from a big family" shenanigans and read what real embarrassment looks like. Her hilarious and heart-warming stories offer a first- ever peek at the life of a kid in the 1950's when her siblings became overnight Hollywood celebrities. Here is a potluck of funny stories that will make your "most embarrassing" look tame and sensible! On Catalina Island, the Author gives you a rare glimpse of a wild child's life in a one-of-a-kind environment. Her antics with animals, from pythons to puppies, to pigs, are punctuated with tender tales sure to put a tear in your eye and some warmth in your soul.

When you grow up with six siblings in a tiny beach cottage, "You have to do something to survive." Telling funny stories about her idiotic antics and the tender events that filled her life, kept her friends in stitches and kept the author sane. When she won an essay contest in the 8th. grade, she saw writing as the outlet she was looking for. At the urging of friends and family, this prolific writer of technical projects, has written the first collection of her personal stories.
