A “hilarious”* and “tender”*
novel about three generations
of women living under
one roof. Joanie’s ex-husband is having a baby with his new
girlfriend. Joanie won’t be having more babies,
since she’s decided never to have sex again.
But she still has her teenaged daughter Caroline to
care for. And thanks to the recession, her elderly
mother Ivy as well. Her daughter can’t seem to
exist without texting, and her mother brags about
“goggling,”—while Joanie, back in the workforce,
is still trying to figure out her office computer.
And how to fend off the advances of her
coworker Bruce. Joanie, Caroline, and Ivy are stuck under the same
roof, and it isn’t easy. But sometimes they surprise
each other—and themselves. And through their
differences they learn that it is possible to undo the
mistakes of the past.
