Host Jo Reed and AudioFile’s Michele Cobb discuss Dan Mathews’s entertaining memoir about caring for his elderly mother in a raggedy old Virginia house. His voice is full of quiet amusement as he recounts the ups and downs of life with his larger-than-life mom, which includes spontaneous costume parties, vegan feasts, and home improvement mishaps. His lively, heartfelt performance adds a lot of depth to a lighthearted but ultimately moving book about a complicated mother-son relationship. Published by Simon & Schuster Audio.
