Born in Liverpool, England, “terminally cheerful” Angie McCartney has enjoyed a life of amazing ups and downs, tempered by a breathtaking blend of optimism and determination to succeed no matter what may befall her. Amid tragedy, World War II, illness and endless entertainment, McCartney gained a firsthand knowledge of Beatlemania and has amassed a collection of stories during and since.

“Your Mother Should Know” is the second book from McCartney, who published her first book, “My Long and Winding Road,” in 2013. Now 90 years old, she shows no signs of slowing down. Her latest work is a collection of often hilarious and always heartfelt quips, memories and observations. Along for the ride is McCartney’s ever-loyal and equally saucy daughter Ruth, who as a young child greeted her future stepbrother Paul at their first meeting with “I know who you are! You’re on my cousin’s wallpaper.”

McCartney shares a variety of experiences from her colorful life including opening a fruit wine company, performing a stint in the improv comedy world with National Lampoon’s Lemmings, and even delving into the world of artificial intelligence and learning more about the ever-changing world of cyberspace. “Your Mother Should Know” also has an appealing bonus feature: QR codes that readers can scan with their smartphones to link to audio and video clips pertaining to the stories.

“Your Mother Should Know” is available online for purchase at Amazon.com and Decisions-books.com.
