A Book Review From Rachel Gidden From The Spectrum & Daily News

In a time of economic insecurity, LaRae Olsen provides easy and helpful tips for resolving common household problems with items you might just find under the kitchen sink or on the back of the shelf in the pantry. The tips may be “old-fashioned,” but the solutions to the problems will never go out of style. Olsen has a conversational writing style, which makes reading “Aunt Rae’s Remedies” less like aboring, institutional how-to book and more of an adventure of mishapsand their resolutions.
Reading Olsen’s book is like having a personal expert standing behind you as you work to eliminate a variety of issues — involving everything from roaches to hard water residue to sunburns. With a good mixture of real-life stories and instructions, this book is one you can read for fun and then keep handy for reference.
