...In her writing, Bonnie is able to share the exact amount of detail that makes a story funny or poignant. She is able to take her craft seriously without taking herself too seriously, and it makes for sharp prose. It is overall a great, uplifting read. - Michelle Burwell, Chicago Writers Association
DON'T LIFT UP YOUR HOOD AND CUSS, CALL US! Takes you through the amazing and unexpected turns that propelled an overweight, shy, and sheltered child of Chicago's Southside Pilsen neighborhood of the late 1940s into a world she could only dream of. Through love, inspiration, and destiny, she finds herself moving to south suburban La Grance, Illinois, meeting her soulmate at a USO dance Chicago, sitting on the white sugar sands of Pensacola Beach, Florida, living in a WWII Quonset hut on the Island of Adak, Alaska, and coping with earthquakes and a different culture in Misawa, Japan. How in the world could a Southside Bohemian raised on dumplings and sauerkraut develop a craving for Sea Slugs! Come share her experiences and eventual return to Chicago, which had always been calling her home.
