Set in Baltimore around a wedding are three days of mixed emotions and memories for Gail, our protagonist and mother of Debbie, the bride. Gail's ex-husband Max, who together with a rescue cat, turns up unannounced on the doorstep seeking accommodation. Then Debbie arrives in a highly agitated state with news that could jeopardise the wedding. As always with Tyler there is humanity, pathos and gentle humour throughout this short but brilliant novel - with a very clever and satisfying ending!
