Meet Cassie Barrett. Typical housewife of the 1960?s?three children, a husband she isn?t sure she loves, a lover she is sure she doesn?t, a psychiatrist she wants to murder, a major drinking problem, and one of the fastest, funniest, wise-cracking mouths of the time.

?Hilarious novel that will shake you, delight you and lift you high, as only fine writing can.? ~ Los Angeles Times

?It?s hard to laugh and cry at the same time, but THE CRACKER FACTORY is just that kind of book.? ~ Dick Van Dyke
