(Book on CD)

Read by Alana Kerr Collins, Gary Furlong, Siobhan Waring.

When Kevin Gogarty's irrepressible 83-year-old mother Millie is caught shoplifting yet again, he has no choice but to hire a caretaker to keep an eye on her. Kevin, an unemployed father of four, is already at his wits end, increasingly resentful that the responsibilities of childrearing and housekeeping have fallen on him while his wife pursues her glamorous career. Rivaling his vivacious, noncompliant mother for Chief Tester of Kevin's Patience is his teenage daughter, Aideen, the black sheep of the family whose troubles only escalate when she's sent off to boarding school and befriends the campus rebel. Into the Gogartys' calamitous world steps Sylvia Phenning, Millie's buoyant American home aide who appears at first to be a guardian angel until she catapults the Gogartys into their greatest crisis yet.
