"Some might ask if it is worth a dollar to have your daughter crawl under the folding table in the laundry room with the Hand-Vac and get at the dust bunnies. Oh, yes, I say to you. Oh yes."

Meet Quinn Cummings. Former child star, mother, and modern woman, she just wants to be a good person. Quinn grew up in Los Angeles, a city whose patron saint would be a sixteen-year-old with a gold card and two trips to rehab under her belt. Quinn does crossword puzzles, knows every cheap Mexican restaurant in the city, and has deeply held beliefs on what makes a good margarita. And she tries very hard to be the Adult--the one who saves the world, the one everybody calls for a ride to the airport--but somehow she always comes up short.

In Notes from the Underwire, Quinn's smart and hilarious debut, she tackles the domestic and the delightfully absurd, proving that all too often they're one and the same. From fighting off her prowling cat Lulabelle to her failure at crafts, she's never without a dash of brilliance. Witty, slightly sarcastic, and keenly observant, Quinn Cummings provides insight into an often chaotic, seldom perfect universe. The book, like the author herself, is good-hearted, tremendously funny, and really good company.
