Everything Ever After: (Confessions of A Family Man)

by Michael Picarella

Overview

"Picarella's wry observations on fatherhood and American life are spot-on. Consider his light and heartfelt essays to be a user's manual for dads."

- CHRIS ERSKINE, Los Angeles Times

"While today's digitized and distracted families are generally depicted as wise-cracking and argumentative, Michael Picarella's column steadily reinforces the notion that families remain nurturing, character-building institutions built on love and caring, with a little zaniness around every corner."

- JIM SCHOCK, author of The Bridge: A Celebration, former ABC-TV Bureau Chief, West Coast

"I really enjoy Michael's writing! His witty stories of his family life are not only charming, but very relatable."

- LACEY CHABERT, actress, Mean Girls, Party of Five, Ghosts of Girlfriends Past, The Wild Thornberrys
