This book makes a perfect gift for the wife, mother, and/or hostess in your life who works hard to make Christmas dinner special for everyone.

All the kids were a' screaming and building Mom's stress!
With Dad on the couch, she was losing all hope.
Her in-laws were coming; how would she cope?

Amazing Things Press was born in 2014 out of a desire to help authors local to the St. Joseph, Missouri area get their books published. Author Julie L. Casey started the business with just five authors' books, but soon became overwhelmed with the amazing response from authors in the Midwest and beyond. Fellow authors Samantha Fidler-Newby, David Noe, and Jackie Pollack partnered with Julie and altogether, they have published over 300 books.
