The big turnoff confessions of a TV-addicted mom trying to raise a TV-free kid
"In her revealing and outspoken take on parenting, Currey-Wilson recounts her increasingly outlandish behavior, such as literally throwing herself in front of the TV set at her son's playmates' houses to prevent any inadvertent watching, and the intermittent fits of insecurity that find her worrying whether Casey might be ostracized for not knowing the theme song to SpongeBob SquarePants. But something remarkable happens as TV assumes a backseat to real life: Currey-Wilson's relationships with her laidback husband, new-age sister, eccentric mother, and remarkably self-possessed son begin to deepen and grow. In an age when it's easier to flip on the TV than to interact with people, The Big Turnoff shows what happens when one woman decides to buck the trend"--Page 4 of cover.
