Before The Holy Cross Quadrilogy, there was The Dysfunctional Family Trilogy. Mr. Smith (Fred) was the crossover character from Dysfunctional to Holy Cross.

In 12 Steps to a More Dysfunctional Family: Ashley purges, Matt runs away, Fred contemplates bankruptcy, Margot excels in Divinity School, Windsong gets in touch with her colon and somehow Mildred manages to keep the whole family together again. Witness the unbearable intimacy that is family! A must for anyone who's been anywhere near a 12 Step program!
