Fortune hadn't been particularly kind to Mattie Gifford. Her mother committed suicide, her husband slept around town, her best friend slept with her husband, and she can't stand her three daughters. But she does love her son, Sonny, who, nevertheless, plunges her into deep despair when he takes two women and a poodle hostage in a trailer park. Sonny claims to have seen John Lennon's face in an apparition and gets his own mug on the television news. All this is almost too much for Mattie, who stands at the center of this humorous but also poignant tale of disappointment and love

This was a quirky and sometimes startlingly realistic examination of the relationships between a mother and her children. The ending felt a little rushed and the whole story was a little bizarre. I enjoyed reading it, although I'm not sure that I feel compelled to read any other works by this author.
Part of the Baby RABCK. Enjoy!

A wonderful rainy day read and I really enjoyed this book, all except for the wrap-it-all-up, too rushed ending. A lot of books seem to go on and on way after they have reached what I feel would have been a good ending, but not this book. I think the author could have added 50 or so more pages and tied up a lot of the loose ends that were left flapping in the breeze.
Will be passing this one along soon.

What a nice surprise to find a box of books at my door! I am surprised I won. I totally forgot about the drawing. Thank you so much for your generous box of books. As my granddaughter says, "You can never have too many books." I am looking forward to reading this on.
Picked this up this morning to begin this afternoon.
An interesting base for a book. The ending was different than I expected.
Enjoy! KTM book to the winner of the Happy Day drawing.
Rec'd today.
Many thanks for this book, I am looking forward to read it as I've never heard of this author.

The blurbs on the book say it’s a funny book, a moving story and so on. For me, it was not really that. Yes, I could see some humor but it wasn’t a moving story and I must say that I got bored after 60 pages so I simply stop reading it. The characters got on my nerves really fast, which is usually not a good sign when I read a book. In this case, that’s pretty much what I have to say about it.
Hopefully, someone else will like it more than I did.
