How To Survive Tough Times, by Joy J. Daymon

Reading Joy Daymon's "How To Survive Tough Times" is very much like sitting at the kitchen table with a wise older woman, and listening to her try to tell you everything she's learned over a lifetime on a number of subjects. There IS a lot of really USEFUL information in it, but the presentation leaves much to be desired. Still, the value of the info far exceeds the price of paying attention, and I was surprised that I learned a few things, myself. This is a book to buy and use highlighters in - I got my first copy from the library, and right away I realized I needed a keeper copy so I could underline, highlight, and dog-ear the pages. Published by iUniverse, it's obvious right away that this book could have been improved by a good editor, but it's so practical that I doubt any major publishers would have been interested. Joy covers a wide variety of life events and how you can handle them - and shares her lifetime of accumulated wisdom in the process.
