Joining him is the young Father Neil, who serves as an even-keeled aide during the many times Duddleswell finds himself in hot water.   This compendium of adventures is sure to delight fans of the series as St. Jude’s adds another member to its clergy: Father Abe, an octogenarian with an agenda of his own. The St. Jude’s staff finds themselves embroiled in a rivalry among undertakers, a visit during Holy Week from the bishop with the longest rosary on record, a harebrained scheme to promote holy water as a fertility enhancer, and a night spent under a pool table during a pilgrimage.   Equal parts funny, sweet, and moving, Father Under Fire is a touching portrait of London in the early 1950s.

  I'd gone to college. I'd written for the New York Times. I had a solid credit score. How did I end up here? 
  After his breakout hit book I'm Sorry . . . Love, Your Husband, Clint Edwards has more laugh-out-loud tales, this time from the "terrible twos" and "threenager" phases each of his kids went through. 
  His relatable toddler stories leave parents and caregivers cackling, and remind us all that no one is the perfect parent. In fact, sometimes the only thing that gets Clint through the day is thinking about when his kids grow up . . . and all the ways he can finally exact his revenge. Like leaving a leaky sippy cup full of milk to rot under the back seat of his daughter's car, or waking up at 4 a.m. to incessantly ask his son for a cheese stick. 
  With essays like Locking Doors Is Hilarious Until the Fire Department Arrives, Poop Doesn't Go Easily Down a Tub Drain, Dad's Never the Favorite, and Face It—You'll Never Pee Alone, Clint knows exactly what's "terrible" about the twos . . . and threes.
