Drink to the Lasses

Both party and elegy, "Drink to the Lasses" is the story of Mary Beth Ellis¿ life at Saint Mary¿s College, the sister school of the somewhat-more-famous University of Notre Dame. The same wit that made her a popular campus columnist is now shaded with a steely view of her collegiate self. In what is hardly a sugary look back at halcyon college days, Ellis battles her roommate, struggles with obsessive compulsive disorder, and discovers that her chosen career might not be so choice after all. In vignettes and set pieces, she introduces us to issues of a modern women¿s college and peels back the gold leaf from social life at ¿Catholic Disneyland.¿ The first of its kind, this poignant, hilarious literary college memoir is a must-read for all once and future freshmen.Ellis, Mary Beth is the author of 'Drink to the Lasses ', published 2006 under ISBN 9781583851067 and ISBN 1583851062.
