Faith R. Foyil gives birth on an offshore island and discovers that parenting, unlike the alcohol and jewelry, is not "duty-free." A one-time (New) Jersey Girl turned Bahama Mama, the author demonstrates that being a mom is a universally wacky experience no matter if you re living in a big city, a small town or on a 21-mile long tropical island. In Sunny Daze we learn that even beautiful island life can be challenging to a woman who had previously only "fished regularly for compliments." Even normal household maintenance is tricky to someone who had assumed "Phillips and Flat Head were Nickelodeon cartoon characters." Whimsical essays address family topics running the gamut from puberty to the postal service, from getting lost to getting a colonoscopy, from toddlers to taxes. When the author discusses leaving her tropical paradise home for turbulent airline trips with sniffing pre-schoolers you ll wonder if she s growing bananas or going bananas. "Buy this book," Ms. Foyil urges, "if nothing else than to give you a slightly more mature alternative to that copy of Captain Underpants that keeps turning up under your car seat."
