Shea's collection of memoirs detail how tricky, yet always entertaining, the balancing act of being a tattooed, brassy, beer swiggin', tender-hearted, lovelorn, and funny-as-heck chick can be. Her writing is so conversational and honest, the reader feels like a friend by the last page. The forewards by comedians Doug Stanhope and Ron White are an additional treat to this fun read.
