Rat Time, Paperback

Pet deaths and parenting, embarrassing childhood memories and mental illness, Roberts documents her daily life's minutiae, its up and downs, with the deftness of an observational comedian. Her comics demonstrate that sometimes life can deal you a punch to the gut, but it doesn't have to be devoid of a punch line.

Roberts is a droll documentarian, unfaltering in her ability to find humor and levity in her life's unflattering moments.
