But after her marriage to Andrew fell apart, she ceded most of the raising of the baby to her mother-in-law, the very opinionated Edith Vale, a woman as formidable and steely as her stiff blond bouffant, the veritable helmet that helps her soldier through life. Now, after letting Henry drift away, Susan is determined to make things right. But just as mother and son seem to make headway after embarking on a cross-country road-trip, things take a darker turn.When the family reconvenes in California, everybody must fight to find courage and humor in the face of a situation that threatens to change them all forever.

How About Some Amazon Reviews?

"This is a tremendously likable, funny and emotional story with a full and engaging cast of characters. The star in this particular crown is Edith Vale, a grande dame who takes on many colors in the story and ultimately becomes a hero despite being a generally impossible and domineering personality. I hope that someday this is optioned for a movie - Edith Vale is a dream part for an actress of a certain age."

"Although it is set in contemporary Pasadena and Boston, Jason Pomerance’s novel reminds me of the classic mid-century films of Joseph and Herman Mankiewicz. It’s totally engaging, funny and warm-hearted. Pomerance is a natural storyteller with a sociologist’s attention to mores and manners. It’s a great book to curl up with on a rainy weekend or under a beach umbrella."
