A Parallel Life by Ruth Hamilton

Eccentricity is the family byword for the Compton-Milnes The Compton-Milnes are eccentric, to say the least. A marriage between Gus, a reclusive but brilliant professor, and Lisa, a promiscuous cosmetic surgery addict, has produced Ben, an OCD-riddled genius, and his self-sacrificing sister Harriet, while Gus's acerbic invalid mother rules over them all from her attic throne room. But when Lisa's lover turns on her, the family must pull together to survive . . .

The Bell House, Dorothy's War, The Judge's Daughter, and Matthew and Son are among Ruth Hamilton's eighteen works.
