Tess Whistle lives in Idaho with paranoid parents, who "became born again" after a kitchen fire.

Tess falls intensely in love without realizing "that you can't depend on another person to provide your own balance. Readers may be so busy laughing out loud at the eccentric characters and outrageous plotting that they may not realize how much they have grown to empathize with desperate Tess until her relationship is in crisis.
