For The Love of Gary: The Sandwich Generation..... It's no Picnic (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798309656677)

Meet Sarah....a struggling perimenopausal author, sole carer for her Mum, Rita, who has dementia, and the Mother of Joel, Blackpool boy turned London fashionista.

Reunited after six months apart, the three of them spend the weekend together and as a threesome they embody the expression 'The Unholy Trinity'...Mother, son and the menopause. Joel's head has been turned by life in London and he regurgitates just about every unfavourable stereotype of the north going! Rita lives in her own world, where a shabby teddy bear called Gary is her beloved companion and Sarah is constantly refereeing between mother, son and teddy bear as she craves a perfect family weekend.

Instead of the cosy reunion she wants, Sarah gets a weekend of Take That, Tiktok and turned heads. Never in her wildest dreams, or should that be nightmares, could she have imagined how the weekend was going to turn out. Sarah really should have expected the unexpected because there's nothing Rita wouldn't do for the love of Gary.
