"Perfect for women's fiction books club wanting to explore complex and turbulent family relationships. It's a playful coming of (middle-age) novel." -IndieReader When Allison Montgomery's beloved father-in-law and long-time confidant passes away, her mother-in-law, Margaret, 'temporarily' moves in. From rearranging the furniture and taking over the kitchen, to undermining and embarrassing Allie at every turn, including funding her daughter's escape, throwing a hissy fit at the mall, and publicly equating Allie's glass of Chardonnay to full blown alcoholism, Margaret turns Allie's life upside down causing her to bounce between a sincere desire to support her grieving mother-in-law and an intense urge to simply push her out of the nearest window. Feeling annoyed, trapped and even a little childish, Allie struggles to avoid a complete meltdown with help from her fearless and audacious best friend, a plan for reinventing herself and enjoying a second act, and, yes, a few glasses of Chardonnay. Along the way, Allie discovers the reasons behind Margaret's attitude toward her all these years. Does it help? Maybe... 2022 Chick Lit Cafe - CLC Book Excellence Award Winner - Women's Fiction/Humor 2022 Indie Book Awards Finalist - Chick Lit (Fiction) 2022 Maxy Awards Winner - Literary & Humor 2022 Readers' Choice Book Awards - Finalist - Best Adult Book 2022 Readers' Favorite - Finalist - Humor/Comedy
