'Essential reading for all parents of teenagers!'

Ciara is the mother of three ungrateful, privileged teenagers and the wife of quiet Martin, a man with hairy chests. She mourns her mother, who now lives in a mortuary box. She finds comfort in her anonymous blog and in daily conversations with her mother's ashes, which are often the best discussions of her day.

Despite menopause, the invisibility of middle age, and the daily blows to her self-esteem from her children, Ciara manages to navigate the turbulent waters of grief and family life - until her mask falls and she is excluded from the family embrace. She embarks on a mission to fulfill her mother's last wishes, to have her ashes scattered from the top of the Empire State Building. Along the way, she finds companionship, distraction, and - ultimately - herself.

If motherhood is a job - who said you can't quit?
