Nadia is upset when her 84 year old widowed father decides to marry Valentina a 36 year old from Ukraine. Nadia must work with her estranged sister to try to get Valentina out of their fathers life. there was a lot of humor involving the father's situation but also some pathos involving their fathers loneliness. I don't really understand why the tractor parts had to be in the book. I found them boring and that they didn't really connect to the rest of the story.
