故事从一个电话开始，87岁的父亲因心脏病发作被送进医院，留下89岁的母亲独自在家。所以作者收拾了一个小袋子，回家帮忙。但是，他的生活就像父母的健康一样迅速崩溃了……作者被困在你长大的房子里，重新和与养育他的人一起生活，所有事情都在考验着他的理智和耐心。为了排解内心的苦闷，作者通过写日记自我舒缓，他的日记充满了对自我坦诚到残忍地剖析、对生活真实的记录、令人又哭又笑的英式幽默。
It was the kind of phone call we all dread. Your elderly father has been admitted to hospital. Your even older mum is now at home alone. The answer? Simple. Drop everything, go back and help. The reality? Not so straightforward. Suddenly, you’re a kid again, stranded in the overheated house you grew up in. Soon they need you 24/7. And you want to help, of course you do. But now your own life starts to unravel almost as quickly as their health. And then there is nowhere else to go.
In between bouts of washing, feeding, cooking and fighting there are times that test you, days where everything goes wrong and moments when everyone, miraculously rises to the occasion. And amidst all of that, this strange second childhood offers up a shot at redemption—if you can just stop everyone from falling down.
