A Life Lived on the Wild Side of Normal

Jerry J. Davis was conceived in a Mexican log cabin with an outhouse overhanging a ravine full of wild pigs-and things only got weirder from there. All This and a Bucket of Toads is a hilarious and heartfelt romp through six decades of near-death experiences and creative evolution. From escaping soundproof washing machines as a toddler to surviving 40-foot whitecaps in the Sea of Cortez, Jerry has spent his life exactly where the action is.

Follow a self-proclaimed nature geek as he navigates the shift from the dusty Arizona desert to the tech-booming suburbs of California. Along the way, Jerry survives the coma years of young adulthood, accidentally erases the only copy of his entire first novel, and learns that the best way to handle a rattlesnake-or a mid-life crisis-is with a steady hand and a sense of humor.

Equal parts The Wonder Years and Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas, this memoir is a masterclass in the art of the creative pivot. Whether he's snorkeling with groupers the size of Volkswagens or facing down the black pit of a deleted manuscript, Davis reminds us that while memories are fragile, the act of just doing it is the only way to build a life worth writing about.
