520    "Every family has its fault lines, and when Maggie gets a 
       call from the ER in Maryland where her older sister lives,
       the cracks start to appear. Ginny, her sugar-loving and 
       diabetic older sister with intellectual disabilities, has 
       overdosed on strawberry Jell-O. Maggie knows Ginny really 
       can't live on her own, so she brings her sister and her 
       occasionally vicious dog to live near her in upstate New 
       York. Their other sister, Betsy, is against the idea but 
       as a professional surfer, she is conveniently thousands of
       miles away. Thus, Maggie's life as a caretaker begins. It 
       will take all of her dark humor and patience, already 
       spread thin after a separation, raising two boys, 
       freelancing, and starting a dating life, to deal with 
       Ginny's diapers, sugar addiction, porn habit, and refusal 
       to cooperate. Add two devoted but feuding immigrant aides 
       and a soon-to-be ex-husband who just won't go away, and 
       you've got a story that will leave you laughing through 
       your tears as you wonder who is actually taking care of 
       whom"--|cProvided by publisher.
