Publisher's Synopsis
When Francine discovers her two children will not be coming home from college for any of the holidays, she decides she will host a year's worth of holidays in the week before they leave for school. To add to Francine's mayhem, her rebellious octogenarian mother keeps sneaking out, her ex-husband shows up unexpectedly with his new, young girlfriend, and she starts feeling confusing feelings for her handsome handyman. As Francine's holiday celebrations escalate into the absurd, she ponders the question: What will she do with herself when her children are gone, and the holidays are over?
