I Paint Gophers! - Paperback

by Eve Crawford (Author)

In her conversational, wholly irreverent voice, Eve Crawford's creative memoir, "I Paint Gophers!" traces her chaotic years growing up in a family of four unruly girls, with a mother who would rather be teaching birth control in India (if only she could mutter the word penis) and a father, the lone male of the pack, who yearns for World War 2 when, as a lieutenant in the navy, people followed his orders. It follows her life as an actor as she balances her career as the Where's Waldo of film with the daunting challenge of raising two boys as a single mom. Her hilarious stories both amuse and cut to the heart with an approach to life that is robust and full of love.
