After the Rice

Megan Ismore’s bungalow isn’t big enough to house her problems---or her relatives.

Married just ten months, Megan’s life with Matt would be grand if it weren’t for a fast-growing secret she can’t bear to share. As if that weren’t enough, she’s dealing with Matt’s belching Uncle Tony, who is residing on an air mattress in the basement, and her sister Andrea, a roving hippie, who is nesting on their couch. Plus dueling mothers-in-law hell-bent on double-booking the newlyweds, an incontinent terrier, and a randy best friend. As midterm exams are about to begin, Megan’s unweaned infant niece (a.k.a. The Pink Tyrant) is left in her care, and there’s no time to spare for reexamining her life. Between the demands of her family and a gigantic decision only she and Matt can make, Megan finds herself in a state of marital chaos that she never imagined but must somehow manage.
