This too-crazy-to-not-be-true story tells about the end of Jennie's mother's life, The title refers to the unusual place Jennie's mom hid her end-of-life instructions; it turned out, she was also hiding a secret. In 80-minutes, Jennie's one-woman tour-de-force entertains, enlightens, and thrills - sharing the relatable details of the last chapter of Jennie's not-that-typical mom, including a song and dance number called 'Hospice Hottie.' Ultimately, it's a story of love.
