The Cracker Factory Joyce Rebeta-burditt The 1977 Classic's 2010 edition

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.

??there?s a laugh a minute. But Cassie?s humor is her strongest weapon, and on a deeper level the book is a serious and moving one ? A brave and admirable account of a woman achieving self-respect.? ~ The New York Times

?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

?Picture TV?s Rhoda with a drinking problem, put her in a female version of ONE FLEW OVER THE CUCKOO'S NEST, and you have THE CRACKER FACTORY in a barrel.? ~ Chicago Tribune
