“After the storm blows over, the sky becomes clear and bright!” —John Patterson
The Pattersons are back! And this time with one full house . . . for better AND for worse! In Lynn Johnston's newest installment of the For Better or For Worse® saga, Home Sweat Home (Andrews McMeel Publishing, $12.99), the Patterson clan finds itself under the same roof after a fire at Michael and Deanna's. While cramped quarters certainly cause their own fair share of trouble, Michael leaves his editing job at a time when financial security is anything but certain, and Elizabeth's long-distance relationship with Paul ends in heartbreak. But while times are certainly trying for the Pattersons, their commitment to one another as a family helps them weather the storm. Sunny skies are straight ahead because they will never lose what's most important . . . each other!
Since 1979, For Better or For Worse® has followed the lives of the Patterson family, whose run-ins with the obstacles of everyday family life have made this comic a favorite of more than 220 million readers worldwide. There are no sensational plot twists here, just an ordinary family trying to balance the demands of work, children, and everything in between. As one reviewer for the Chicago Tribune has put it, Lynn's "uncanny ability to see into the heart of daily life so accurately" has truly made this comic the success that it is today.
Lynn Johnston was born in Ontario, Canada, and grew up in British Columbia. Today, she lives in Corbeil, Ontario. In 1985 Lynn was the first woman to receive a Reuben Award for Cartoonist of the Year from the National Cartoonists Society.
