The Cluckery

Six women. One cabin. A therapist. Three days. And a rubber chicken named Gerald.

Bestselling memoirist Peyton Haskins thought she'd escaped her family—until her dying aunt Anne makes an impossible request to gather the women who broke one another, spend a weekend telling the truth, and write it all down.

The guest list: Emma, her mother, who walked out thirty years ago and never stopped walking. Mandi, drowning in debt and lies. Reagan, wearing her dead brother's watch like a trophy. Lacey, sharp-toothed and tequila-soaked. And Anne herself—holding everyone together even as cancer dismantles her.

Over three days, secrets erupt. Reagan's lie that cost their brother everything, Lacey's slur at Peyton's four-year-old son, Emma's silence during abuse she knew about, and Anne's final secret—she has been dying for months, and this weekend is her last chance to make them forgive.

The Cluckery is darkly funny, achingly human, and for anyone who has ever hidden in a closet, said the wrong thing at the worst time, or is still learning how to show up.

The Cluckery is August: Osage County meets The Golden Girls—if the Golden Girls hated each other and one of them was dying.
