"In true Erma Bombeck style, Foyil sets us on an adventure with her where we learn, perhaps a little shockingly, that daily life in the Bahamas isn't all about volleyball tournaments and free margaritas. Foyil's sense of humor is sharp and her wit fresh. She'll make you laugh with such observations as, "Today's Game Cube kids can't possibly comprehend how quickly home technology has advanced in the last twenty-five years. They master Microsoft Excel and Publisher around the same time they learn not to pick their noses in public" (p.122) and bring you into her story with her genuine voice. She sounds not like a mom who's trying to be funny; rather a mom who just happens to notice how funny her life is.
SUNNY DAZE is a quick, light read that will make you chuckle. Good for lounging around the swimming pool with or as a gift to a mom you might know who thinks "life is a beach," it's a fun read."

"The insightful essays and witty observations are sure to perk a smile among travelers and mothers alike. Each vignette is brief making Sunny Daze perfect for light or on-the-go reading, but taken as a whole, Sunny Daze is certain to bring a smile."
-Midwest Book Review
"This book is a great book for the mom on the go. It's a quick read, and it really makes you laugh, which all moms can use."

"...this amusing collection of essays and anecdotes."
- John Marquis, Nassau Tribune
"Faith Foyil has written a funny and wryly observant guide to life as a 'Bahama Mama.' She gives birth expecting Treasure Island but often ends up in Paradise Lost."
- Judy Gruen, author of Carpool Tunnel Syndrome and Till We Eat Again
"With laughs that flow like tanning lotion left out in the sun all day, Faith Foyil kicks sand in the face of the notion that life on an island is nothing but tropical breezes, umbrella drinks and Sunny Daze!"
- Linda Sharp, columnist and author of Stretchmarks on my Sanity
"Faith Foyil adds an extra degree of kookiness to parenting: living on an island where a Saturday afternoon shopping trip can mean plane tickets and excess baggage charges."
- Peter McKay, columnist for The Pittsburgh Post-Gazette and author of Welcome to the Nuthouse
"Sunny Daze gives other humor writers good reasons to be jealous of Faith Foyil -- she's funny AND she lives on a beautiful island. Sure, she complains about the heat, but I think that's just to keep the rest of us away."
- Erik Deckers, humor columnist, The American Reporter
"Faith Foyil offers a funny take on life in paradise with kids and the revelation that the ultimate vacation destination offers the same daily challenges for any mom, including the risk of going completely "coconuts."
- Kristen Twedt, columnist, Hattiesburg American , and author of My Crazy Coastal Catastrophe Cat |
