"Izzy and Ellie's mother danced in the dark rain, gave them long midnight baths, and invented exotic maladies for herself. Loony but magical, her crazy stunts and bold lies were the source of both shame and pride for the girls. Then on her 41st birthday their mother commited suicide, shattering their young lives.".
"Now on the eve of her own 41st birthday, Izzy struggles with the realization that she will be older than her mother ever was. Further complicating the situation, her widowed father, unstable sister, and precocious niece descend on the emotionally charged weekend."--BOOK JACKET.
