“We’re nearing Feline in the Hat level chaos no one’s even possessed breakfast time yet.”
When the fatality of her dad leaves her mother bereft and incapacitated, card shark Hallie Palmer profits home from university to raise Hallie’s eight younger siblings. Hallie’s elderly brother has a scholarship or grant and a practical major–which translates to free tuition and desperately needed future income for the family. So it’s up to Hallie to deal herself in as mind of the chaotic home.
But even following the invasion of these well-meaning, casserole-carrying purveyors of comfort the neighborhood church women, Hallie’s in a downward spiral. Thank goodness for old friends like Bernard and Gil, now proud parents, who keep Hallie afloat with good laughter, brilliant organizational skills, and Judy Garland’s most quotable prices–not that life is totally peaceful now that Bernard’s smart, willful, and delightfully outrageous mother, Olivia, is again from Europe with a large (and shockingly young) delight.
Through it all, Hallie discovers that life can indeed start a dime, and that every coin has two edges plus an edge. Just because rookie’s success doesn’t always last permanently doesn’t suggest you’re out of the game.
