YOU GOT THIS, from Seal Press (2018), explains and illustrates tactics to overcome your doubts, obstacles and fears while going after all you want at home and work. Meg pulls from her experiences with her students, academic research, her time with her daughters, and the personal and professional obstacles she's overcome (and is still overcoming). Point is: you already have everything you need within you to negotiate for all you want in work, love, and life.
Winner of the gold medal in humor from the Independent Publisher Book Awards, this is a humorous collection of slice-of-life essays about motherhood, marriage, education and life's ups and downs.Wander through the reflections of Meg, a college professor, a wife and a mother of two strong-willed daughters. This insightful, irreverent, candid and hilarious book contains more than thirty bite-sized chapters about the successes, the failures, and the opportunities for laughter in the life of a modern woman.
"Harebrained is all about connections between community, family, and life's slings and arrows. It's hilarious, easy reading and it's accessible to all as an example of the autobiographical essay form at its best. Morgan's real strength lies in the ability to produce unexpected twists to each essay's conclusion and, ultimately, to take the opening story of the series and neatly sandwich it between layers of fun interaction, concluding with the wellspring of inspiration that opened the collection and ultimately produced a vivid, successful writer."
- D. Donovan, Senior Reviewer, Midwest Book Review
"A delightfully humorous collection, Morgan's observations are sharp, incisive and often very funny. What makes the book most effective is her candidness and honesty. The writing is breezy and light at times, but Morgan’s collection covers the gamut of emotions, making the book more moving and effective, and gives the humor extra weight. All in all, Morgan's honesty and humor are comforting, and you’ll feel like friends by the end of the book. 4.5/5"
