The International Memoir Writers Association is thrilled to present the fourth volume of compelling true stories from our annual Memoir Showcase contest. This volume's winning selections are inspired by the theme That's a Terrible Idea. What Time?

This engaging and entertaining volume is filled with stories such as taking your husband's mistress to lunch, deciding to dance in a middle-aged Korean flash mob, spending the day with a homeless criminal, and jumping into an affair with the most handsome married man you have ever seen. In the spirit of the Shaking the Tree series, this book goes there-unapologetically.

You can't make this stuff up.
