This book is the first in Brashear's trilogy recounting the same events (basically) from three different points of view. The plot concerns the pain and recovery of a family which has fallen apart after a daughter's decision to drive drunk costs the life of her adored younger brother. When this oldest daughter shows back up years later, teetering on the razor-edge of starvation and despair, with a child of her own in tow, chaos erupts and old wounds are reopened. Specifically, this book focuses on Cleo and Malcolm Channing, the parents who deal with their prodigal daughter's return, and the growing awareness that, despite divorce and tremendous anger and pain, their own love has never completely died. This book is not by any means a light read, but it is realistic and powerful--and worth your time. Especially memorable is the fact that the lead couple are grandparents!
