***THIS STORY WILL BECOME FREE ON JULY15th!***

Beverly Curie only lives for herself (and maybe ice cream). When her three nieces are suddenly put under her care, she must do the impossible: think about someone other than herself.

Beverly is the only member of her family left in Chestnut Ridge, where she's kept the same routine for eight years: do as little work as possible during the day, marathon sitcoms in the evening, and try (for the life of her) to get everyone to leave her alone.
When she loses her position at Red Ribbon's Craft Store, Beverly is left without a job and without a paycheck. 
Then her estranged sister, Aimee, calls with an impossible favor: Could Beverly take care of her three nieces for six months?
It's insane.
But then there's the thirty thousand dollars that Aimee offers to pay and Beverly can't resist.
Suddenly, she's stuck taking care of three little girls, trying not to kill the soccer moms at the snobby Percival Academy, and joining the PTO. 
Now Beverly--self-serving, sarcastic, and problematic--must take on the role of a loving parent. And she is anything but.

"What if she goes to the cops, Dad? That bruise on her face is enough to get you arrested and charged with assault." "What? You mean when she tripped over the mess you made in the kitchen?" His smile is so wicked that it chills me to my core. "She ain't going to the cops. Hell, she'll probably be back here tomorrow." "You're a bastard," I whisper, tears filling my eyes. "No wonder Mom left! She probably couldn't bear to spend another second with-" I'm pushed to the floor.
