Jo Maeder was a not-so-young DJ on a decidedly youth-driven New York City radio station when a series of crises led her to do the unthinkable: move to the Bible Belt - "Greensboring," North Carolina - to care for her ailing, estranged, pack-rat mother.
Everyone predicted Operation Mama Jo would be a disaster. Jo's therapist suspected Rescuer Syndrome - and her mother could not be rescued. Jo's friends staged an intervention. Even Mama Jo wasn't sure it would work.
Jo's roller-coaster ride with the unforgettable Mama Jo and her enormous doll collection, Jo's born-again brother, the laid-back South, and first-time home ownership - plus a few drag queens along the way - proved to be a magical, hilarious, and, at times, heartbreaking antidote to heal a long-fractured family.
Ultimately, Jo learned the meaning of true love, devotion, faith - and also how to age gracefully without completely losing her Inner Teen. Most surprising, what she feared would be some of the worst years of her life turned out to be some of her best. And the same was true for Mama Jo. After all, if you're not right with your Mama, you're not going to be right with anyone.
