Moms of the twenty first century want to connect with other moms just as much as they did in the past.  However, in this fast-paced world of moms always running to get things done, planning face-to face meetings is a bit of a challenge and connecting through cyberspace has become a popular choice.  Linda Sharp and Shana McLean Moore, who met in cyberspace, use their email connection to share their everyday mom adventures with moms worldwide in Femail: A Comic Collision in Cyberspace.  These two hilarious women have complied a collection of back and forth emails with complementary personal essays to present us with a glimpse into their lives as moms and their wonderful friendship which blossoms through cyberspace over a one-year span.

I connected to this book from the start because I also have several friendships with cyber buddies whom I’ve never met face-to-face but love to bits and would feel utterly lost without.  So on top of relating to Sharp and Moore as a mom, I could totally understand the growing cyber bond of friendship portrayed by their exchange of emails.

Sharp and Moore present life as a busy mom with honest and witty accounts of everything a mom has to deal with.  They cover such topics as PMS and hot flashes, potty-training puppies and dealing with Puppy Love, post-partum bodies, and Mommy explosions to name a few.  You are guaranteed at least a smile out of every page of this book, and the chances are high that you’ll be laughing out loud through several parts.

Femail: A Comic Collision in Cyberspace is a must read for any mom.  You’ll see that you’re not alone in this crazy world we live in, and you’ll learn to laugh about a lot of stuff that might at some point in your life have made you cry.
