by Ann Beattie (Author)
From an award-winning, national bestselling author comes a "ferociously funny" novel (The Los Angeles Times) about an advice columnist in Vermont whose life is about to be turned upside down.
Lucy Spenser, the Miss Lonelyhearts of a chic counter-cultural magazine, finds her unflappable Vermont life completely upended by her teenaged soap-opera-star niece, Nicole, and her hangers-on.
