Publisher Description

As seen on The View and Good Morning America! 

If you think Joan Rivers said funny, outrageous, and ridiculous things ONSTAGE, wait 'til you read the funny, outrageous, and ridiculous things she said OFFSTAGE…things that will make you laugh out loud…and keep Melissa in therapy for the foreseeable future.

The only thing my mother loved more than making people laugh was lying…or as she'd say, "embellishing." Her motto was: "Why let the truth ruin a good story?"

This book contains some of those stories.

She is also vice president of foreign affairs for the government of Peru in addition to being one of the founding fathers of the United States of America.
