description: Meet Cassie Barrett. Typical housewife of the 1960â€sâ€¦three children, a husband she isnâ€t sure she loves, a lover she is sure she doesnâ€t, a psychiatrist she wants to murder, a major drinking problem, and one of the fastest, funniest, wise-cracking mouths of the time.â€œâ€¦thereâ€s a laugh a minute. But Cassieâ€s humor is her strongest weapon, and on a deeper level the book is a serious and moving one â€¦ A brave and admirable account of a woman achieving self-respect.â€ ~ The New York Timesâ€œHilarious novel that will shake you, delight you and lift you high, as only fine writing can.â€ ~ Los Angeles Timesâ€œItâ€s hard to laugh and cry at the same time, but THE CRACKER FACTORY is just that kind of book.â€ ~ Dick Van Dykeâ€œPicture TVâ€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.â€ ~ Chicago Tribune
