An elegantly cheeky guide to keeping the woman in your life happy-while secretly doing whatever you want. Published in tandem with the woman's guide How to Keep Him on a Short Leash, How to Stay Out of the Doghouse is perfect for Father's Day.... or as a gift for a new groom.

In this collection of essays, Patchett turns her writer's eye on her own experiences and transforms the private into the universal, providing us all a way to look at our own worlds anew.
