Summary:

"George McLeod's easygoing life turns to chaos when his bodybuilder
cousin, Buck Root, reappears on his doorstep with his sexy
girlfriend, Joy, and her mother, Livia, whose sense of reality blurs
into the pages of her favorite western novel. Without protest, George
takes this boisterous threesome under his roof, secretly nursing a
helpless longing for Joy. But when Livia's condition worsens, a
long-dormant need for intimacy awakens in George. For the first time,
George understands the rage to live life to its fullest - the rage
that has consumed Joy, Buck Root, and Livia."--BOOK JACKET.
