About this listen

Could you use a laugh or two?

Step into the delightful world of small-town life, motherhood, misadventures, and newspaper deadlines—with a cast of unforgettable characters like Mad Mother, Lemonade Man, The Kid, and Motorcycle Mama.

In this heartwarming and hilarious memoir, former humor columnist and newspaper publisher Anne Spry shares decades of personal columns that shine a humorous light on the everyday struggles and joys of parenting, aging, home repair gone wrong, and life with a city-boy-turned-country-husband.

Originally published in 2014 as Letters from Home, this refreshed and reimagined edition includes updated reflections and a newfound perspective from the golden years of retirement. With warmth, wit, and unflinching honesty, Anne invites listeners to laugh at life’s curveballs, find meaning in the messes, and celebrate the people who shape our stories.

Whether you’re a parent, writer, caregiver, or simply someone who loves a good laugh, Living on Laughter will leave you smiling, sighing, and maybe even picking up a pen to capture your own stories.
