Synopsis
During her classic television series, Diane Barrow was America's sweetheart and everybody's favorite spunky mom.
That was twenty years ago.
Now her career is in a slump and her son suddenly remembers some nasty things from his childhood.
Or does he?
This is a surprising comedy about memory, mothers and our maddening culture of complaint by the author of The Twilight of the Golds
