The Jarrets are a typical American family. Calvin is a determined, successful provider and Beth an organized, efficient wife. They had two sons, Conrad and Buck, but now they have one. In this memorable, moving novel, Judith Guest takes the reader into their lives to share their misunderstandings, pain...and ultimate healing.

This book is a little tough to follow because it's written in third person present tense. That said, I really enjoyed the character development throughout, and this is largely about the interpersonal relationships of the characters. It is a good depiction of living with depression. Very real.
