Hi Father Gary! I hope this note finds you well! I'm in Los Angeles on a pit stop for my INSTANT MOM book tour and am wondering if you want to email your parish about my LA appearance? MEET N GREET and INSTANT MOM Book Signing: SATURDAY May 11, starts at 2 pm, Chevaliers Books, 126 N Larchmont Blvd LA 90004 INSTANT MOM makes a great Mother's Day gift, is a New York Times bestseller and the profits are being shared among adoption groups. I write about being Greek (of course), how I broke into the film industry and how I became a mom. More info below, thank you! - Nia REVIEWS: CLEVELAND PLAIN DEALER: "The deft title captures the sudden burst of love Vardalos and her husband feel as they adopt their daughter.... This instant phenomenon comes only at the end of a very long journey. Grade: A KIRKUS: "...laugh-out-loud and painful-in-the-shins moments of raising a scared 3-year-old child. The author holds nothing back as shechronicles the years leading up to the adoption, and she recounts the minute details of the first year of life as a mother, as her daughter began to learn how to love and trust her new surroundings." BOOKLIST: "Readers can feel the tension between desire to share her joy and good fortune and wish to maintain her child’s privacy. Vardalos offers candor,humor, and poignancy in her account of adoption and parenthood as she pokes fun at parenting memoirs but delivers on emotional impact." Click here for the BOOK COVER:
