In The Tao of Womanhood it is written, “nothing in the world is more gentle than water, yet nothing is stronger.” And nothing has been running through Noreen Braman's life in waves and buckets and flash floods more than water."Treading Water" is a slightly damp collection of humor columns and essays that have appeared online and in print, including the "Evil Pants" series and "the House of Rhyming Pests." Tales of domestic life include hilariously unsettling "Don't Worry, It's Just a Stage!" as well as adventures at both the nail salon and the hair salon. You'll be grateful that your life isn't full of watery adventures, misbehaving dogs, careful plans gone awry and varmints of all kinds that don't give up!
