For fifteen years, Evelyn was the glue holding her family together. She paid the bills, quietly bailed her husband out of disastrous business deals, and kept her rebellious teenagers from ruining their futures. To them, she was a nagging, controlling "psycho." But when Evelyn discovers her husband has brought his young mistress into their home—and that her children have warmly embraced her—something snaps. No more shouting. No more saving. Evelyn quietly withdraws her wealth, her influence, and her protection, letting them have exactly what they wanted: a life without her rules. As the real world crashes down on them, they quickly realize that the "control freak" was the only thing keeping them alive.
