The Amy Binegar-Kimmes-Lyle Book of Failures
By Amy Lyle
Genre: Funny Memoir
THE AMY BINEGAR-KIMMES-LYLE BOOK OF FAILURES is a humor
memoir. If you have ever failed at love, finances, been fired, not fit in,
self-diagnosed yourself with disorders and conditions and/or said, "I
really need to get my s*** together," this is the book for you.
You may appreciate your own dysfunction a little more as you
take a journey through Amy’s debacles including: “I Was Not Talking to You,”
where Amy mistakes a handsome man waving at her as a potential suitor but in
reality, he was only trying to inform her that her belt was dragging on the
freeway and “In the Neighborhood,” where members of a cult moving in concurred
with a suspicious decline in the cat population. You will relish the chapters
entitled “Calls from Sharon,” where Amy’s best friend rants about her kids not
getting a fair shot because public schools are ‘so political,’ as her OB/GYN
reported her vagina was ‘too clean’ and how the most eligible bachelor from
1982 married a whore. Enjoy “I’m Going to Kill You,” where Amy compares her
lack of sleep from her husband’s snoring to CIA agents extracting secrets from
a POW. Feel 20-32% better about your own life after reading “Getting Divorced
Sucks,” where 911 was called after Amy had an adverse reaction from taking
Xanax.
The book has been featured in Scoop OTP, Georgia Followers,
The Atlanta Journal Constitution, Points North Atlanta Magazine, Just4Fun Radio
and the WXIA-TV morning show, "Atlanta & Company.”
Ten percent of book proceeds are donated to The Place of
Forsyth County, a non-profit helping people to become self-sufficient.
About the Author
Amy Lyle is an author, comedienne, actor and screenwriter
who works as a playwright for a large nonprofit in Alpharetta, Ga. Obsessed
with fellow female comedians, Amy developed a writing style that is
self-deprecating, hilarious and slightly neurotic.
Although she describes her book, The Amy Binegar-Kimmes-Lyle Book of Failures,
as a “how not to” book, her message of “You are not a failure, you’re just
having a little bit of trouble right now” is prompting people to share how the
book made them feel (#bookoffailures), including the relief of knowing they are
not alone in the world of missteps. Fan posts of people reading the book have
been popping up from all over the world, including Lake Como, Italy, Amsterdam
and The Great Wall of China.
The funny memoir, dealing with everything from getting fired
to trying to blend a family, has been described as relatable and authentic,
while sparking conversations about how we all handle failure.
The author has been featured in the Atlanta
Journal-Constitution, Points North magazine and the WXIA-TV morning show,
"Atlanta & Company,” in addition to writing a monthly column for My
Forsyth magazine.
Amy grew up in Marietta, Ohio, in the heart of Appalachia, a
place known for a population that is partial to moonshine and prone to acts of
violence. She currently lives in Cumming, Ga., with her second husband, Peter,
lots of teenagers and a large dog. Ten percent of book proceeds are donated to
The Place of Forsyth County, a non-profit helping people to become
self-sufficient.
