Serve Yourself by Joe Yonan

by Matt on April 25, 2011

This quick book review will most likely be biased. I’m cool with that. And I’m owning my bias in a big way, here’s why: My husband works out of state several weeks a month. I am from Texas. Mr. Yonan is from Texas. Mr. Yonan is affable, sweet and smart, and has a chapter on [...]
