About Product:
It was no! a day any of the Heffelfingers would be able to point to afterward, saying, «That was the day it began · · .” They had no way of knowing that they were on a merry-go-round. A merry-go-round that was slowly, slowly beginning to turn.
Maxine Heffelfinger's mid-life merry-go-round is spinning into a crisis. The men in her life-each seeking his own individuality-seem to be completely out of control. Her son, Pete, embarrasses her by turning punk: dyeing and spiking his hair and hanging out with a platinum blonde who always wears black and has her own reasons for rebelling. Maxine's husband, Ernie, who has always felt like a failure compared to his father's expectations, decides to go quit his job and go into business for himself, constructing luxury custom homes. And her father, Will, who has become a completely different person following an accident in which he lost his memory, refuses to fit into the mold of the person he once was.
With her world spinning out of control, Maxine is stricken with uncertainty and fear. Then comfort comes from a most unexpected quarter as she learns to accept and to love. . In an often-humorous, always compelling story, novelist Carroll Hofeling Morris offers a fascinating picture of a Mormon family responding to the pressures of modern suburban life. The Merry-Go-Round is everything you expect in a memorable novel: warm, entertaining, thought-provoking, engrossing, and moving.
