What's Christmas without a little murder?

When Roxanne Wilder reluctantly returns to Wilton to help after her sister, Vanessa, is temporarily confined to a wheelchair, she arrives to find Vanessa experiencing mood swings that would frighten a marine, and her mother, Deanna, involved in yet another class at the aptly named WACKED (Wilton Adult Center for Knowledge and Education).

When the local Lotherio is murdered at the Historic Christmas Walk, Deanna thinks it's the perfect time to put her Criminal Psychology & You textbook to work. As her mother enthusiastically dives into the investigation, Roxanne dodges cranky retirees, a persistent ex-boyfriend, and her humiliating past as she struggles to keep her mother from becoming the next victim.

FAMILY MATTERS is a comedic romp through a Midwestern town with three women who wouldn't speak to each other if they weren't related.
