About this audiobook
A rigid system of scientific child-rearing threatens to drain all the joy out of a young family's life. When a dominant aunt dictates every aspect of her nephew's upbringing, it sparks a silent rebellion among the desperate parents and their quirky acquaintances. The tension boils over into a hilarious battle between sterile theories and the messy, unpredictable reality of human affection. Witness a delightful struggle to rescue a little boy from an overly sanitized existence.
