Any Place I Hang My Hat - by Susan Isaacs

A colleague at work recommended Any Place I Hang My Hat, by Susan Isaacs. The heroin, Amy Lincoln, is a daughter who parents her parents -- in this case a father who loves her but doesn't provide much, as he is in and out of the slammer; and a grandmother who is who works part time as a waxer and who is "not the brightest bulb in the menorah." Amy is also looking for her roots -- finding out about a mother who no one wants to talk about much. It's funny and interesting -- a double or tripple, but no a home run in my opinion. I give it three stars out of 4.

Should we come up with a rating scheme?
