From the author of Penelope in Retrograde comes the sparkling story of three generations of women, each trying to live out their own dreams without breaking a leg in the process.
Liza Day's mother isn't dead, but leave it to Darla Day to throw herself a funeral anyway. It's the kind of attention grab Liza left behind to build a quiet life for herself and her rebellious teenage daughter, Avery. But between her students discovering her old daytime TV show--putting her teaching job at risk--and her mother's unexpected funeral invitation, Liza's life feels truly like a soap opera.
When Liza returns to her family's historic Day Ranch for her mother's premature farewell, she's not sure what to expect. Darla's always been known for eccentricities, both on- and off-screen. Thankfully, Liza has her siblings to help navigate Mom's antics, which include everyone dressing as one of Darla's many iconic film characters, a harem of white rabbits, and one surprise guest: Liza's former costar and Avery's father, Scotty.
The more time Liza and Avery spend on the ranch, the more Liza realizes that it might be time to trade in the scripted life she thought she wanted, for a leading role in the family she's always needed.
