I love, love, love Faith’s sense of humor in this laugh-out-loud journey through messes, mishaps and misadventures that can help people get through truly tough times.

— Karen Salmansohn

Faith’s been through so much that I can’t even believe that all this crazy mix of calamities could happen to one person.

Laughing My Baggage Off, her memoir, is a creative blend of travelogue, self-help and cocktail recipes all rolled into one engaging narrative that encourages readers to lighten their load and find joy in the journey no matter the detours.

As a non-drinker, I appreciate that I can celebrate the end of my setbacks with one of her crafted non-alcoholic cocktails.

I think Netflix should turn this book into a series — it would be a must-watch.

Laughing My Baggage Off by Faith Poe is a trip! It’ll have you swimming in laughter and gives you pause to think and reflect on your own journey as you tag along on hers.

— Suzy Toronto

You’ll find yourself re-accessing your own baggage as you travel life’s detours and realize that ultimately, attitude (and a pink slushie drink with a little umbrella in it) can overcome just about anything.

Reading Laughing my Baggage Off was my favorite cruise read and now needs to be your next “vacation read” as well.

Including Betty White’s Pet Love, Dreamgirls by Mary Wilson, Robert Gray Smith’s Zodiac Killer (film rights sold 20 years later) and TV Writer/Producer Ronald D. Moore (Star Trek: The Next Generation, Battlestar Galactica, Outlander).

There’s no book like it — it’s genre-breaking. I loved Laughing My Baggage Off because if Faith could get through all this, my battle’s a piece of cake. It made me laugh and feel better.

— Sherry Robb

It’s a prescriptive memoir, motivational, humorous and entertaining, accompanied by cocktail recipes for drinkers and non-drinkers. And it’s a perfect gift book.

If Faith wrote what she hasn’t been through, it would be a short story.
