520    "Mary Rose MacKinnon is a successful author of YA fiction 
       doing a tour of duty as stay-at-home mom while her partner,
       Hilary, takes a turn focusing on her career. She tries 
       valiantly to balance the (mostly) solo parenting of two 
       young children with the relentless needs of her aging 
       parents. But amid the hilarities of full-on domesticity 
       arises a sense of dread. Do others notice the dents in the
       expensive refrigerator? How long will 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 pair of
       scissors wind up in her toddler's hands? As frustrations 
       mount, she experiences a flare-up of forgotten symptoms of
       a childhood illness that compel her to rethink her own 
       upbringing and family history. Over the course of one 
       outwardly ordinary week, Mary Rose's world threatens to 
       unravel, and the specter of violence raises its head with 
       dangerous implications for her and her children. With 
       humor and unerring emotional accuracy, Adult Onset 
       explores the pleasures and pressures of family bonds, 
       powerful and yet so easily twisted and broken. Ann-Marie 
       MacDonald has crafted a searing, terrifying, yet 
       ultimately uplifting story. "--|cProvided by publisher.
