A wonderful book about censorship and life in a small town

Stifled Laughter was Brilliant! The subject of Censorship was the theme interwoven with details of the authors personal life! A very frank funny book that leads you through the trials of fighting the narrow minded while trying to balance life and marriage with two small children. The threat of censorship to both our classic literature and the continued freedom to practice critical thinking make this a book everyone must read!
