Joni’s
“This Day” Book Series
Joni’s first
book was a classic case of a bad day leading to a good idea. Trying to
deal with a serious illness in her family, a huge bill that meant
getting loans on top of her loans, and a child who refused to wear
socks despite freezing temperatures, Joni wondered if any one else was
feeling so low. Surely not. But what were other women doing, feeling,
and thinking on this very same day?
And so a
book—and then a series—was born, out of self pity, curiosity, and a
need to connect.
Introducing
Water
Cooler Diaries: Women across America Share Their Day at Work
The third book in the “This Day” series, Water Cooler Diaries (Da Capo
Lifelong Books/Perseus Publishing, March 2008), lets you go
behind-the-scenes with working women across the country (whether that
work comes with a paycheck or not). From cubicle drama to multi-tasking
moms; from career highs to bosses from hell, Water Cooler Diaries pays off big
time in intimate details, laugh-out-loud truths, and a new kind of job
satisfaction. A recent review in Publisher’s
Weekly calls Water Cooler
Diaries “both fascinating and eye-opening.”
