The Thong Also Rises
Author: Jennifer L. Leo
Publisher: Travelers' Tales
ISBN: 1932361820
Category : Travel
Languages : en
Pages : 244
Book Description
Too many travel guides are dry lists of attractions or portentous histories of a place. This isn't the case with The Thong Also Rises. Hot on the (high) heels of Sand in My Bra and Whose Panties Are These? comes this collection of the best in women’s travel and humor writing. These Ms-adventures take readers around the world and back again — and they’ll be happy to be reading rather than experiencing some of these adventures. Subjects include learning how to go to the bathroom with a pig in Thailand, trying to explain that sex toy to customs while Mother is watching, attending naked wedding ceremonies on Valentine’s Day in Jamaica, conquering that consuming fear of wooden puppets with a visit to Prague, boarding a crusty old Soviet Bomber in Laos, and more. Contributors include such notable writers and comedians as Jill Connor Browne, Wanda Sykes, Laurie Notaro, Wendy Dale, and Ayun Halliday.

Pages : 374
Book Description
The "slow down" motion that Danny portrayed from his car window hit a nerve. It triggered Franks's memories of his mothers death for which he still felt guilt and so led to a festering vendetta, a way of shifting blame for the death of the only person he loved in his life. His self taught photography skills that grew more and more warped with age became a useful weapon in his secret war against Danny and before long the whole family was being teased and tampered, without the slightest hint of knowledge. The never ending string of bad luck caused cracks to deepen in their marriage and it wasn't long before Jane broke and chose to leave the relationship. Only the death of Danny's mother bought them back together, a death that appeared accidental to all those affected. Danny's father, a retired police officer had provided a listening ear throughout the traumatic times and once alone, he chose to rekindle his investigative skills and soon clarified in his own mind that his son and his family were being hunted. He didn't involve the force, he didn't have the evidence, merely gut feel and coincidence. And he was right. He tracked down Frank and uncovered the truth about the mentally disturbed mind inside his head. Which led to confrontation.....
