Elizabeth Berg weaves a beautifully written and richly resonant story of a mother and daughter in emotional transit. Helen Ames is recently widowed and coping with grief. She is unable to do the work that has always sustained her. She is begining to depend too much on her 27-year old daughter, Tessa, meddling into her life and offering unsolicited advice. Then Helen is shocked to learn that her mild-mannered, loyal husband, Dan, was apparently leading a double life. When a phone call from a stranger sets Helen on a surprising path of discovery, both mother and daughter reassess what they thought they knew about each other, themselves, and what really makes a home and family.
