From the back cover

Justin returns home from a business trip over Thanksgiving to find that his mother traveled all the way from Larkwyn to visit him, only to be made to sleep in the storage room. His mother-in-law, Deborah Garner, complains that relatives from the sticks will embarrass them, and his wife, Ella Shaw, tosses the pecan pies his mother brought into the trash, calling them full of germs. Humiliated, his mother apologizes and walks out.

Justin says nothing. He takes the deed, calls a real estate agent, and puts the condo on the market, because his mother paid for it in full when he married. Downstairs he finds her crying beside a flower bed, pressing 2,000 dollars into his hand so he can buy himself more pecan pies before her bus leaves.

Back upstairs, Deborah and Ella are readying the spare room for Ella's brother, Kevin Shaw, whose visits they treat as a given. Justin is left to weigh a marriage in which his mother is an outsider in the home she paid for.

Inside the book Opening excerpt

I'm just about to lose my temper when my mother-in-law, Deborah Garner, rolls her eyes.

"Next time your mom comes, give us a heads-up. What will the neighbors think if they find out we have relatives from the sticks?"

Mom looks down, so humiliated she doesn't know what to do with her hands.
