The Butler family is sooo dysfunctional. Which makes for great reading. Oldest sister Althea and her husband Proctor find themselves jailed for fraud, their twin teenage daughters adrift. Sister Viola is relapsing with her eating disorder after breaking up with her girlfriend. Lillian is 36, parents dead and no kids of her own but finds herself fully engaged in the "sandwich generation" as she is caring for her nieces and her ex-grandmother-in-law. Brother Joe is still kind of a jerk but took over his dad's preaching business. Yes, they all have issues. Yes, there is a family crisis. Will they come together? or will they scatter? Well written and realistic, the audio version enhances the story thanks to an excellent cast of narrators.
