Bliss Goldstein claims her curly hair has gone to her head. While others think in straight lines, Bliss sees ways to take detours from conventional wisdom. In her mind, she's quite the Detourist.
Maybe that's why others enjoy listening to her, whether they're reading an article she's written, watching her on television, or sitting in an audience attending one of her talks.
And now she's excited to announce she's finished her first book.
Adventures of a Detour Queen: Lessons Learned by Going off My Mother's Map reveals how you can take a bizarre childhood and, armed with an alternative take on life, a loose spirituality, and a sense of humor, transform it into a guidebook for good mothering.
In spite of her upbringing, Bliss has been wired--against her will--to feel perpetual optimism, and enjoys helping others rewire. So beware, you just might have to get happy. But don't worry, she's not sappy. In fact, she's as cranky as the next middle-aged woman with a low thyroid count and hot flashes that confirm she's been taken over by a biological terrorist.
Bliss's book reveals how her askew sensibility has helped her not to go crazy. And she loves sharing her secrets with others. Her voice is like that friend, who on your coffee date says something so unexpected that you grab the waitress's pen to jot it down.

And when you find yourself detouring on the way home, or even just u-turning in your head, feel free to pass along the Bliss.
