This too-crazy-to-not-be-true story tells about the end of Jennie's mother’s life, The title refers to the unusual place Jennie’s mom hid her end-of-life instructions it turned out, she was also hiding a secret. In 80-minutes, Jennie’s one-woman tour-de-force entertains, enlightens, and thrills – sharing the relatable details of the last chapter of Jennie’s not-that-typical mom, including a song and dance number called “Hospice Hottie.” Ultimately, it’s a story of love.

Fahn’s story is deeply moving as it is funny. Her priceless characterizations of her mother, father and everyone else passing through this tale are endowed with so much detail and love."
