“a humorous, insightful, and entertaining guide to love, marriage, and more . . . filled with hilarious stories that demonstrate her very practical advice” ––George Smith, georgesmithmaine.com
"Forget Dr. Phil. Who needs an overpaid television talking head when Maine has Ida LeClair to straighten out all kinds of marriage problems? . . . The Sweet Life is as funny as you'd expect, but it's also refreshingly serious . . . Best, however, is her wisdom about arguing with your spouse: 'Do you want to be right or happy?'"
––Bill Bushnell, Central Maine Newspapers

Nearing the end of the dirty work, they were set to tackle two final boxes. The first trunk was filled with tutus and clothes stowed away and saved from their childhood days, everything inside had been damaged by water. Sitting on top of that was a second container—one that would become know as their mother’s “Death Trunk.”
