"A zany, irreverent, hilariously honest and touching tale with true heart." — James W. Ziskin, Anthony and Macavity award-winning author of the Ellie Stone mysteries

Zelda Bowen was the glue in her dysfunctional family, but who was holding her together?

When Bill Bowen ran off with a woman from his office, leaving no word of his whereabouts, he left his family reeling and angry. As always, Zelda, the middle of his three adult daughters, stepped in to keep the family functioning. It was something she was used to doing during her parents' rocky marriage.  

As Zelda puts her dreams and plans on hold to keep her crazy family going, her own life crumbles around her. Heaped on top are the family secrets she uncovers. Feeling trapped by her family and her own circumstances, it takes her irascible and snarky grandfather to show her the way out.
