House of Testosterone - One Mom's Survival in a Household of Males

Author: Sharon O’Donnell

Award-winning journalist, humor columnist and mother of three boys, Sharon O’Donnell is uniquely qualified to share her wit and wisdom in this humorous and often heart-warming account of living -- and surviving -- in a house full of males.

O’Donnell is also the developer of www.momsofboys.org.

House of Testosterone is for all those mothers who live in a constant quandary of figuring out the husbands and sons in their lives. It’s especially for those moms who are outnumbered by males in their own household and find themselves struggling to retain their identity as a woman and their sanity as a human being. There’s the bathroom jokes, roughhousing, miscommunication, and sports (or Power Rangers) on TV all the time.

Forget those reality shows set in the jungle; the real question is how does the lady of the house survive?

This is a close-up look at the mayhem of marriage and motherhood that all wives and mothers can relate to, particularly those with sons. A "must-have" book for all moms of boys.
