Past humiliations and long-simmering resentments soon boil to the surface—a son’s forbidden love affair destroyed by his imperious mother, a daughter’s dutiful attentions greeted with nothing but disdain.

What drove him away, and can his siblings get him home in time to see his mother before she dies?
