Home on the Strange

Home on the Strange: Chronicles of Motherhood, Mayhem, and Matters of the Heart  is Susan's second book. Her passion for writing—mostly humour, travel and creative non-fiction these days—merges with her love of family in this collection of humourous and touching stories. Of Home on the Strange, Susan says: “My life is peppered with amusing experiences that beg to be put into stories. I’ve also experienced some trauma, including my daughter’s cycling accident and my husband’s heart attack. These are the types of slice-of-life situations—some poignant, most amusing—that are compiled in this book. It is a true labour of love."  

“A funny, heart-warming ode to motherhood written by an award-winning journalist and humour columnist. A delightful big-hearted book full of wit and wisdom that had me bursting into laughter every other page.  Read this book no matter what stage of life you’re at—it will brighten your day, and you’ll see motherhood in a whole new light." —Amy Chua, Yale Law professor and author of Battle Hymn of the Tiger Mother and Political Tribes: Group Instinct and the Fate of Nations

“Years ago, I learned that whenever Susan Lundy’s child-stuffed VW van braked to a halt in a swim-meet parking lot, joy would tumble out. This book, which charts everyday family life with a deft, self-deprecating wit, is about that joy.” —Jack Knox, award-winning journalist and bestselling author of the Leacock Medal–nominated Opportunity Knox: Twenty Years of Award-Losing Humour Writing
