"Kane and Carolyn, along with their children, geeky Royce and outgoing Madison, are the typical nuclear family. But when Madison applies for a job at a new restaurant in town, a man from her parents' past re-enters their lives, sparking a series of revelations that are humorous, searing and heartbreaking. This sudden reappearance of David exposes suppressed emotions and desires in both parents and children, and all must renegotiate and redefine their relationships as the family is ripped from their comfortable life and forced into a much more uncertain future." -- Back cover.
