From the Press Release
Loose Girl
Kerry Cohen was eleven-years-old when she recognized the power of her body in the leer of a grown man. Her parents were recently divorced and it didn’t take long before their lassitude and Kerry’s desire to stand out—to be memorable in some way—combined to lead her down a path she knew she shouldn’t take.

From the Yes, You’re Pregnant, But What About Me? Book Page

Now, in his first-ever book, Nealon tells the outrageous story of how he battled through aching joints, Milano cookie cravings, and a rapidly receding hairline to become a first-time dad at an age when most fathers are packing their kids off to college. Offering hysterical commentary about his fickle, often hormonal, road to belated and bloated fatherhood, Nealon guides you through the delivery room and beyond, discussing how his past, his wife, and his neuroses all converged in a montage of side-splitting insecurities during the months leading up to the birth of his son.
