Publisher's Synopsis
Pack your bags for Texas to meet the strangest family since that little Chainsaw Massacre incident. Psychologist Jessica LeFave will be your guide, but she isn't your usual shrink, and though her wisecracking lawyer buddy will try to keep out of trouble, he won't be able to save you or himself. Jessica's psychiatrist husband has been murdered, she believes by a patient with a secret. Thus, when the former patient and matriarch of the Jackson clan, Bernice-is found with a stake in her chest, Jessica jumps at the chance to profile the family and the case. Bernice, despised for producing wildly successful, soft-porn versions of treasured historical events, has an addict son, and a homely s an addict, his homely sister, married to a gorgeous stranger, is on a death-wish eating binge, and quickly there is evidence that Bernice's obsession with seeing herself as young and beautiful had soared beyond any psychotic dream.
