Meet Cassie Barrett. Typical housewife of the 1960â sâ ¦three children, a husband she isnâ t sure she loves, a lover she is sure she doesnâ t, a psychiatrist she wants to murder, a major drinking problem, and one of the fastest, funniest, wise-cracking mouths of the time. â â ¦thereâ s a laugh a minute.
