Please Excuse My Daughter

The Almost Legendary Morris Sisters is a hilarious, bittersweet account of growing up in a family of career-shunning, dependence-seeking women and one woman's journey to a state of twenty-first-century self-reliance.

Julie Klam's memoir delivers an unforgettable voice that will make you laugh, cry, and nod your head in agreement.

With her unique blend of humor and heart, Klam shares her story of growing up in an exclusive WASP stronghold of Bedford, New York, where her mother was sharp, glamorous, and funny but did not think that work was a woman's responsibility.

As she navigates the challenges of adulthood, Julie realizes how ambivalent and ill-equipped she is for life, leading her to make a bold decision to teach her child the self-reliance she never learned.

With an uproariously funny voice, Klam's memoir will resonate with anyone who has ever struggled with the expectations of gender roles or felt lost in their own identity.

Please Excuse My Daughter is a must-read for anyone looking for a heartwarming and thought-provoking account of one woman's journey to find her place in the world.
