"My parents may love me, but I also know they view me as a
houseguest who is turning a weekend stay into an all-
expense-paid, lifelong residency, and who (to their
horror) constantly forgets to flush the toilet and shut
off the lights." Twenty-six-year-old Frannie Hunter has
just moved back home. Bright, wry, blunt, and irreverent,
she invites you to witness her family's unraveling. Her
Harvard-bound sister is anorexic, her mother is having an
affair, her father is obsessed with the Food Network, her
grandfather wants to plan her wedding (even though she has
no fiancé, let alone a steady boyfriend), and, to top it
off, Frannie is a waitress who wears a dirty duck apron
and serves plates of fried cheese to her ex-boyfriend's
parents. By turns wickedly funny and heartbreakingly
bittersweet, Hunger Point chronicles Frannie's triumph
over her own self-destructive tendencies, and offers a
powerful exploration of the complex relationships that
bind together a contemporary American family. Y
