Mary Rose MacKinnon is a successful writer of YA fiction doing a tour of duty as stay-at-home mother while her spouse Hilary takes a turn focusing on her job. She attempts valiantly to balance the (mostly) single parenting of two small children with the relentless needs of her aging parents. But amid the hilarities of full-on domesticity arises a sense of dread. Do others spot the dents in the expensive refrigerator? How much time does it take Mary Rose to realize that the car alarm that has been going off all morning is hers, and how on earth did her sharpest couple of scissors end up in her toddler's hands? As frustrations mount, she experience a flare-up of ignored symptoms of a years as a child disease that compel her to rethink her own upbringing and family history. During the period of one outwardly typical week, Mary Rose's world threatens to unravel, and the specter of assault raises its head with dangerous implications on her behalf and her children. With humor and unerring mental accuracy, Adult Onset explores the pleasures and pressures of family bonds, powerful and yet so easily twisted and busted. Ann-Marie MacDonald has made a searing, terrifying, yet in the end uplifting story.
