Warren is eighteen. His sister, Joan, is twenty. Their father has died of cancer, and their mother has committed suicide - they're on their own, in a small coastal town in Maine, under desperate emotional circumstances, with the holidays approaching.
Their situation worsens as their father's partner ruthlessly strips them of financial interest in the plant nursery they had owned together and a ghoulish uncle and aunt try to exploit them. Things grow even more complicated as Warren becomes increasingly puzzled by his attraction to a beautiful young single mother who used to work for his father.
Told from Warren's point of view, On This Day is not only a story of two young people's struggle to make a place and a home for themselves, but a consideration of memory - the necessity to face the secrets of a family's dark past in order to exorcise them.
