“Upside Over” is the author’s always charming and often humorous perspectives of the myriad components of family life. Beginning with the conception of a newly married couple’s first child, the author effectively escorts the reader through the highly and sometimes less significant events and circumstances most will encounters as they navigate the path of life. From his wife’s transition from hot and witty playmate to overwhelmed and often cranky mother, the husband’s point of view is well depicted. In vivid detail the author portrays the often maddening, but always rewarding, pains both parent and child endure as they grow. The dynamics of the various relationships between family members is presented in a realistic and entertaining fashion. The challenges of today’s society in terms of blended families and divorce is discussed along with the peculiarities the author finds in dealing with men in general.

In sum, Wanita Coy succeeds in painting an accurate portrait of the various family components most will experience in some manner in their lives. The author’s highly descriptive and humorous style of writing could further enhance the appeal of this work.

Wanita Coy author of Upside Over:

Both Mix 96.7 and 94.5 Coyote-FM Radio aired a story from the press release we got last week from your publisher.

I think it should be a point of community pride when a local author makes it into print, and is therefore newsworthy. You should send another note JUST BEFORE the release date, and - time permitting - we will do another mention.

Ms. Coy, author of "Upside Over" has done an excellent job of portraying what real family life is all about.
The ups, the downs, and all the in betweens! I cried a little, I laughed a lot.
Ms. Coy openly shared a lifetime of love, laughter, tears, and outright honesty.
She has experienced her share of hardships and heartaches and did not let them overcome her.
When she found herself in "the barrel", she didn't duck, she faced it head on!
She has recognized everyone's quirks and made treasures of them.
She has made it easy to laugh at just about anything in retrospect.
I found "Upside Over" to be a truthful, humorous, and refreshing view inside of everyday family life.
It is wonderfully written with a gutsy spirit, and warmhearted hilarity.
This is a 5 star to me!
Thank you Ms. Coy. I needed this!

PublishAmerica Presents Upside Over By Wanita Coy

Frederick, MD September 28, 2006 -- PublishAmerica is proud to present Upside Over by Wanita Coy of Elko, Nevada. Upside Over is a humorous look at how having children completely changed the author’s life upon the discovery that babies do not come with instruction manuals. Coy’s husband’s point of view is well depicted as his wife is transformed from a hot and witty playmate to an overwhelmed and often cranky mother. It’s about surviving the parent game, learning that with a sense of humor a family can survive and become stronger, through the laughter and tears, through good times and bad as we take a step closer to insanity or just learn to accept reality. It reveals our coming to the understanding that for every time there is a season, and if we embrace life then we must learn to embrace death by learning to let go and say goodbye to loved ones.

Wanita Coy has been a public speaker and trainer for non-profit groups and specialized in: self-esteem, dealing with difficult personalities, diversity, outdoor survival skills, and sensitive issues. She’s worked in sales, public relations, personnel management, and Social Services. She is a wife and mother to four children.

PublishAmerica is the home of 20,000 talented authors. PublishAmerica is a traditional publishing company whose primary goal is to encourage and promote the works of new, previously undiscovered writers.

Humorous Non Fiction

Rating: 4 1/2 BEACONS

Forget the stories you’ve heard about the joys of raising children, and read the true accounts of Wanita Coy’s ‘Upside Over’. A delightful, somewhat humorous recollection of the trials of parenthood, every parent can relate to.

If not for the few grammatical flaws, I would give this book a 5 star rating! “Been there, done that, and I know where you’re coming from,” is what most parents will say while reading this book. A highly recommended reading for parents who may think they’re alone in their trials, or parent’s to be who believe their jobs will be an easy task.
