Summary

In the span of 36 hours, Claudia Larson has managed to lose her job, make out with her boss, and learn that her daughter is planning to go all the way. But Claudia's fortunes actually take a turn for the worse when she flies home to endure an even more grueling trail: the family Thanksgiving! Beset by a neurotic mother, kooky father, eccentric brother, and compulsively "normal" sister, Claudia struggles to maintain her calm--and soon manages to recapture the zaniness of her childhood and discover that the most important things in life are the memories she shares with family--and for that, she can only be thankful!
