Melinda Rainey Thompson
& Morgan Murphy
I Love You--Now Hush is
a pithy, gleeful take on Men Are from Mars, Women Are from Venus with a
Southern slant. Melinda Rainey Thompson and Morgan Murphy have teamed up to
write a hilarious, heartfelt collection of essays ranging on every topic under
the sun on which men and women disagree. For example: reading (or not reading)
instruction manuals, shopping, keeping house, romance, yard work, clothing---just to name a few. There are also quite a few
not-so-common squabbles of the sexes covered in this book, such as proper
singing etiquette and hoarding mayonnaise jars.
