Crazy, but loyal. Fictional mother would have to be - not an actual biological mother but Hannah Gruen, the housekeeper from the Nancy Drew mysteries. Loved the way she always offered comfort and support to Nancy! Favorite family has to be the Blackbird family from Nancy Martin’s Blackbird Sisters series. Crazy, but loyal.

As Michael once put it, dealing with his mother is like dealing with the Russian mob. They'll give you what you want with a smile, but boy, will you pay. She's a neurotic hypochondriac with a brown belt in emotional blackmail, and yet, at the end of the day, all she wants is her two sons home for the holidays, no matter how much they hate each other. Families are harder for me to think of. I tend to be drawn more into characters who don't have a strong family backing them up, or those who've been more or less lost in the shuffle. They're sort of like strays. They show up, and they'll let you feed them--pet them if you're lucky--but a collar is simply out of the question. I've always been a sucker for the lost boys.

The one I come to think of right now is the Donovan family from Elizabeth Lowell's Donovan Series. That's one interesting family. Favorite mother, I would say is Dr. Charlotte Mira from the In Death books. I kind of like her. And I like the "family" Eve and Roarke has built up with Galahad, Feeney, Mavis & Leonardo, Peabody & McNab, Mira and Summerset, even when they don't have any close blood relations with anyone.
