I'm pretty sure that Marci didn't really write Happy for No Reason. The book cover reads Marci Shimoff, with Carol Kline, which is kind of publisher's code for saying that Carol actually wrote the book. But for marketing purposes, Marci is considered the name, so she gets the main credit. I

I'm sure Marci did a lot of hard work on all the Chicken Soup books that appear with her name on the cover, but actually writing the stories was not part of it. Marci is a go-getter, a businesswoman—and a good one at that—who knows how to market books and promote herself. Writing is not really
