Is is ever too late to make up for the past? Laura Bartone looks forward to her annual family reunion with a mixture of excitement and wariness. Every year, she and her siblings return to their parents' home outside Minneapolis to attend the state fair. This year, things are different. As soon as she arrives, Laura realizes that something is not right with her sister Caroline. On their first evening together, Caroline confronts Laura and their brother Steve with devastating allegations about their mother. As Laura and Steve-whose own childhoods were reasonably happy-struggle to make sense of Caroline's accusations and wonder how they could've been oblivious to, or complicit in what happened, their father dies.

When Elizabeth Berg strikes, she cuts
deep into your heart; sometimes she draws blood.
This book drew blood. I deeply identified with the characters. After
I finished the story, I felt like I understood misunderstood children
better. I want to pass this on to misunderstood children; somehow, I
think it helps.
