Official synopsis Publisher
Patriarch, Henry Bosworth and his sister, Katherine, look on with tolerance and amazement as the carnal and tempestuous relationships develop between Constantine Abernathy unkempt, irascible, and profane and Bessie Gatto widowed, buxom, and good-humored. Harold Fuller handsome, mild, and naive and Bessie Owens divorced, sexy, and restless. The seventh member of this loosely knit family is Mamie’s sixteen year old daughter, Lena whose ambition is to become a stripper in a Bourbon Street skin show. Helping to stir this family pot is Buster Bosworth, brother to Henry and Katherine, a sometime visitor, and part-time lunatic. This is a story, profane and humorous, of initial failure, frustration, unhappiness, and lunacy transformed into success, satisfaction, marital bliss, and sanity.
