You Only Call When You're in Trouble is a book to cherish. A book that loves you back. What more could you want, my gosh? Read it!”\n―Andrew Sean Greer, Pulitzer Prize-winning author of Less Is Lost\n\nIs it ever okay to stop caring for others and start living for yourself?\n\nAfter a lifetime of taking care of his impossible but irresistible sister and his cherished niece, Tom is ready to put himself first. An architect specializing in tiny houses, he finally has an opportunity to build his masterpiece―“his last shot at leaving a footprint on the dying planet.” Assuming, that is, he can stick to his resolution to keep the demands of his needy family at bay.\n\nNaturally, that’s when his phone rings. His niece, Cecily―the real love of Tom’s life, as his boyfriend reminded him when moving out―is embroiled in a Title IX investigation at the college where she teaches that threatens her career and relationship. And after decades of lying, his sister wants him to help her tell Cecily the real identity of her father.\n\nTom does what he’s always done―answers the call. Thus begins a journey that will change everyone’s life and demonstrate the beauty or dysfunction (or both?) of the ties that bind families together and sometimes strangle them.\n\nWarm, funny, and deeply moving, You Only Call When You’re in Trouble is an unforgettable showcase for Stephen McCauley’s distinctive voice and unique ability to create complex characters that jump off the page and straight into your heart.\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 125029679X\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: DBV.125029679X.G\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Good\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:McCauley, Stephen\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: Gently used with minimal wear on the corners and cover.
