The Grass Is Always Greener Over the Septic Tank

The Grass Is Always Greener Over the Septic Tank

The â€œmarvelously funnyâ€ and much-loved humorist explores the perils of suburban living in this New York Times bestseller (Vogue).

For years, the Bombecks have heard rumors of a magical land called Suburbia where the air is clean, the grass is trimmed, and children donâ€™t risk getting mugged on their walk to school. After watching their friends flee the city for subdivided utopias like Bonaparteâ€™s Retreat and Mortgage MaÃ±ana, Erma and her family load up their belongings and cry, â€œStation wagons . . . ho!â€
Â
But life on the suburban frontier is not as perfect as they had hoped. The trees are stunted, the house is cramped, and thereâ€™s no grass at all. But the Bombecks will make do, for they are suburbanites nowâ€”the last true pioneers!

This ebook features an illustrated biography of Erma Bombeck including rare images and never-before-seen documents from the authorâ€™s estate.
