β¦ Synopsis
As Cynthia ruminates on her changing circumstances, life forces her to take a look at those she calls family.
A former literary notable, Cynthia Wilkes is looking down the barrel of an empty nest, an empty desk, and an endless supply of empty pages when an unlikely protΓ©gΓ© comes calling, setting in motion a chain of events that will force Cynthia, and those closest to her, to redefine the idea of family and of self. This novel is a humorous look at the creation and reconstruction of family and the lingering hold of the people we keep close and those we try to let go β¦ the siblings and step-siblings, parents and step-parents, spouses and exes, the friends, the colleagues, and the others we call family.
