About this item

I took so long to assemble my lovely family. If only they would disappear. While Julia Sweeney is known as a talented comedienne and writer and performer of her one-woman shows, she is also a talented essayist. Happily for us, the past few years have provided her with some rich material. Julia adopted a Chinese girl named Mulan After the movie? and then, a few years later, married and moved from Los Angeles to Chicago. She writes about deciding to adopt her child, strollers, nannies including the Chinese Pat, knitting, being adopted by a dog, The Food Network, and meeting Mr. Right through an email from a complete stranger who wrote, Desperately Seeking Sweeney-in-Law. She recounts how she explained the facts of life to nine-year-old Mulan, a story that became a wildly popular TED talk and YouTube video.
