Kathy Robinson is a middle-aged housewife and mother of three. Her husband infuriates her, one of her sons sends her into a rage every time he speaks, and her sparkling best friend carries a long-hidden guilty secret. This book tells the story of nine days in her life.
Through a process of much psychologising, and many 'deep and meaningfuls', she and her husband fall back in love, and her friend's burden is shared. Even her son manages to be nice to her.
