For years, April Epner has taught Latin in a suburban Boston high school, grown used to having her evenings free, and avoided thinking too much about the facts of her adoption thirty-six years earlier. Now Bernice Graverman, the flamboyant, exasperating hostess of a TV talk show - the kind of woman whose wardrobe is dictated by a set designer and whose restaurant conversation is intended for the next table - comes hurtling into April's simple life. And she brings startling news: She is April's natural mother.
Our heroine's life shifts into overdrive as a series of comic misadventures send her reeling into the arms of the compassionate school librarian - Dwight Willamee - and away from Bernice's misguided attempts to make up for over thirty years of missed mothering. And then Aprils natural father appears, quite flustered, on Bernice's show...
