one whole and perfect day by judith clarke

With her older brother, Lonnie, living away from home and her father out of the picture, Lily assumes the roles of cook, housekeeper, and peacemaker, but really, she just wants the stuff normal teenage girls want-you know, to not smell like dishwater, read girly magazines without thinking they're stupid, and have hot guys notice her. They also have Lily, a sixteen-year-old girl who's really fed up with being the only 'sensible one' in a sea of people with serious issues. The Samsons have it all: an ongoing family feud, an absent husband everyone hates, and clashes of iron will. One Whole and Perfect Day isn't a reality show, but it might as well be. And if you think your family is wild and crazy, you better sit back and fasten your seatbelt, because you're in for quite a ride.
