An irresponsible twentysomething comic and his equally shameless grandmother join forces as proud pariahs in this dark and rowdy story of dicey family ties, kindred spirits, bad behavior, and bribery.

When Rory’s judgmental mother told him that he took after his grandma Evelyn, he took it as a compliment. The ninety-two-year-old cocktail-toting, offtrack-betting party girl was every bit the troublemaker he was. When she landed at a dead-end nursing home, Rory jumped at the chance to liven things up for bored Evelyn - with vodka, scratch-offs, bingo, and gaming. But even in this modest assisted-living casino, the risk of betrayal was a gamble.

Rory Scholl’s Black Sheep is part of This Can’t Be Happening, a collection of four true stories about making the best of a worst-case scenario curated by Kevin Allison, creator of the hit true storytelling podcast RISK! Outrageous, alarming, triumphant, and sometimes embarrassing, these fearless confessionals can be read, or listened to, in one what-on-earth-would-I-do? sitting.

I really enjoyed this story. It centers around some pretty hurtful family dynamics but still manages to be genuinely funny.

Great Story and Well Written

If you've ever known a free spirit who dares to live for the moment and challenge all the rules of polite society with a wink and a smile then you know Grace--you know the meaning of being the black sheep of the family. Each sentence is a delightfully narrated step on a comical path to self discovery and acceptance of our flawed selves.

I laughed so much with this story!

Stories are funny. Delivery is not very good...wish they had another reader. Would recommend with different reader.

Being somewhat of a maverick myself, I identified with the author. His grandmother is, however, the star of the show - A feisty senior citizen who has a penchant for the naughty. If you've ever been a non-conformist, or wanted to be one, this story is for you.
