But nothing’s that easy in Penny’s family. For starters, she can’t go swimming because her mother’s afraid she’ll catch polio at the pool. To make matters worse, her favorite uncle is living in a car. Her Nonny cries every time her father’s name is mentioned.

And Holm tells it with all the richness and the layers, the love and the laughter of a Sunday dinner at Nonny’s. So pu
