The Ministrations of Frannie
Frannie Ingram, at forty, found out that she was pregnant. With twins. For the second time.
Shortly after this surprising reveal Frannie was diagnosed with breast cancer. She made the choice to wait for her mastectomy until after the twins were born. Frannie’s husband John is a saint. Her eldest son Danny is not. The older twins are hellions and her daughter Emma, is her rock.
Unfortunately, Emma’s university escape plan was waylaid by her mother’s treatment and subsequent recovery. So, while Frannie hides in the bathtub and the rest of the family hide from her, Emma attempts to hold her chaotic family together and find a way to have a life of her own.
