When Mom calls Dad a spineless jellyfish for not standing up to his obnoxious brother, Willis, Dad grounds her for a week. Reyia, 13, Reymund, 17, and Rodney, 16, side with Dad. Until they realize they’ll be fending for themselves for the whole week—cooking, cleaning, laundry. Oh, my!
Yes, and Mom’s grounded her vehicles and keys with her. So . . . no wheels for dates or rides to the stables . . . no definite way of getting to the horse show Saturday.
Reyia is desperate for Mom to apologize right now! 1.) So she can get out of all those chores. 2.) So she, Rodney, and Ryleigh have a way to the horse show. 3.) To keep their family from falling apart . . .
Far from repenting of her crime, it’s looking like Mom’s enjoying her respite from the family. What’s up with that?
With its lighthearted mix of heart, humor, and family chaos, The Disciplining of Mom is perfect for lovers of coming-of-age tales and heartfelt family drama.
