Overview
What would you do if your ex-con father suddenly came to visit…indefinitely? Family drama ensues when Nicki’s dad unexpectedly wants to move in with her, her son, and her boyfriend in this comedic novel from successful TV writer Tracy McMillan.
Nicki Daniels owns a home appraisal business, but real estate is her true passion: she lives for open houses and really knows her way around a floor plan. And especially at this juncture of her life, real estate has come to signify the stability she is trying to build with her teenage son, Cody, and her much younger boyfriend, Jake. She’s finally ready to find the perfect house for the three of them and work on a new business venture with Jake that she thinks will jump-start their lives together.
Meanwhile, Ronnie, a longtime inmate at a nearby correctional facility, is getting some good news for once—there was a mistake in his sentencing, and he’s eligible to get out of prison. Ronnie decides his best option to avoid homelessness is to move in with his estranged daughter: Nicki. Even though they haven’t spoken in years, her door is always open to him, right?
Imbued with wit and profound insight into relationships, Multiple Listings speaks poignantly—and often hilariously—about the ties that bind families of all types together.
“Multiple Listings will make you cry both from laughing hysterically and pulling on your heartstrings with its beautiful message about what really makes a house a home. A must-read!”
– Eva Longoria

DeleteThat's neat that she's been able to try her hand at so many forms of writing!
ReplyDeleteI just wonder when she sleeps LOL
DeleteThis does sound interesting. I'm a fan of give ex-cons a second chance (depending on what they did, some people I just don't believe are capable of rehabilitation, but I think that the majority of people in prison are).
