Invention gives Kate a pretty, childish mother, who falls in love (literally, as a result of repeated backward-flop trust exercises) with her therapist, a slightly sleazy charmer named Anton. What follows melds The Bobbsey Twins with On the Road. Mom drags the girls across the U.S. to meet her lover at Esalen, the California therapy spa, borrowing gas money from Kate, the sort of wise child who always has some. Then with Anton, his five children...
