Product Description
‘Families are toxic…’ Thanksgiving, New England, and writer Cynthia has been persuaded by elder sister Frances to come and visit for the autumn holiday. Cynthia is reluctant to join in this family reunion because she’d rather not see their long-estranged father. Yet Frances is adamant that they must all meet to clear the air – poisoned ever since their mother died when they were children. But Cynthia has her own ideas about how to use this family occasion. It’s time to lift the lid on some unwelcome home truths about what happened all those years ago. And this time her daddy’s feelings are not to be spared …
