But now the face their greatest spiritual challenge right in their own home: Grandma. Foul mouthed, foul-tempered, and heathen through and through, she's staying in the spare room , recuperating from a broken hip - and making it next ti impossible for the Beckers to do the Lord's work.
Calvin's pious mom is determined to save Grandma's soul, even if she's doing it through gritted teeth. His father's spending more and more time in his room, blasting opera records to drown out the old lady's voice. And Calvin just wishes things would get back to normal so he could go on vacation and see his beloved Jennifer.
