Milk, Turkey, and Neurosis: or, How Mother (Almost) Ruined My Life

Gracie Feldman is cursed. Her mother's blundering impudence seems to sabotage every job, every relationship, and every aspect of her life. Now Gracie is living single, with her obese, feebleminded, lazy cat Morgott in an apartment in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, and Thanksgiving is quickly approaching. Gracie knows Mother will soon call with an invitation to the holiday dinner, and she will not let the twenty-something girl live it down if she shows up without a date; so she rashly tells Dearest Mother that she already has a boyfriend. Gracie has to scramble and embark on a series of blind dates to find someone who could not only survive Mother's bumbles, but would receive Mother's approval. As the clock winds closer to the eleventh hour, Gracie's blind date debacles, ranging from a cross-dressing police officer to a mustached marauder to a heavyset swinger who lives with an elderly couple, have landed her on desperate grounds. Now Gracie's dignity and future hangs on this dinner going perfectly, to try and find sanity before insanity finds her. Colorful characters that range from a cat who is entranced by its own shadow, an aunt who speaks her own language, and a girl who needs to find her own life fill the story like the stuffing in a Thanksgiving turkey. Join Gracie and her kooky cat Morgott in their search for a man, a career, a life, and a delicious dinner Gracie can call her own.
