There's A Song In There

As much a soap opera, or sociological study, as an insight into the real women of the millennium, There's a Song in There, Carolyn Rossini's first novel is based on her regular on-line column, and has attracted a cult following. This collection brings her pieces together where they read as a twisted and humorous novel in serial format. A chronicle of the mating habits of the single mom, There's a Song in There makes a stage of the various day to day struggles we all face as well as the faux quality of the constant kaleidoscope that is the dating scene that keeps us amused. In between the self depreciating humor and the antics that make up her life, Carolyn shows us the all too familiar doubts that plague us today: Fear of becoming our parents, appreciating our parents for the people they are, fear and pride that come from watching our children grow, and the myriad of others that plague us all from time to time. There's a Song in There is a modern-day comedy of errors, a fantastic and sometimes terrifying foray into the hearts and minds of modern people.

Author:
Carolyn Rossini is pleasantly surprised to find herself still alive and kicking, having tempted fate throughout her entire life. She's taken a lot of wrong turns, driven way above the speed limit, flirted with disaster and fought authority with the zeal of a manic mercenary. Fueled by cheap wine, Ramen noodles, and an insatiable need to shake things up, she continues to act like a child, cuss like a sailor, and love like nobody's business. Never stable or static, Carolyn has held dozens of boring jobs, lived in dozens of boring places and divorced quite a few boring men. Like most humans, she has spent a lifetime searching for happiness. Unlike most humans, Carolyn has found herself more delighted by the pursuit of said happiness. She's recently begun to wonder if she wouldn't be better off cutting her losses while she's still slightly ahead of the game. But her boobs are still above her waistline, so while she ponders this notion, she'll most likely continue to wreak havoc, wreck homes, break wine glasses, waste good food, and experiment with her medications. Although infamous in the minds of many, and famous in the minds of none, she holds her head high, proud to have charted a course inspired by the Words of Laurel Thatcher Ulrich - Well-behaved women rarely make history."
