Nonny Frett understands the meanings of 'rock' and 'hard place' better than any woman ever born. She's got two mothers, 'one Deaf-blind and the other four baby steps from flat crazy.' She's got two men: her husband, who's easing out the back door; and her best friend, who's laying siege to her heart in her front yard. She has a job that holds her in the city, and she's addicted to a little girl who's stuck deep in the country. And she has two families; the Fretts, who stole her and raised her right, and the Crabtrees, who lost her and can't forget that they've been done wrong.
