From the Publisher:

This book hits home in the passage about The Mother Mystique. The one passage I'd love to share is my mother's metamorphosis with her physical appearance through the years.

Doris Day. This phase included a beehive do, box suits and pillbox hats. Que sera, sera

son.

It's a story of a lady who looks like Carol Brady.
