Book excerpt: Until You Came Along is a comedic and heartwarming take on parenting. The book is an irreverent love letter written to kids on behalf of anyone who's ever raised a child. It chronicles all the amazing things that made life worth living before parents became parents -- all of the sinfully selfish pleasures they gave up when their precious bundle of joy burst into this world, trampling the fun out of their finely tuned existence with their pants shitting, tantrum-throwing neediness. And, ultimately, it's a reaffirmation of the blessing that is parenthood.
