Meg Mitchell Moore

''Once a parent, always a parent.'' Ginny and William experience the true meaning of this old adage when their quiet, ''children flown from the coop'' lives are suddenly disrupted as, one by one, their grown children return home to live. With her marriage on the rocks, Lillian arrives with her two children. Rachel appears from New York, leaving something mysterious behind that she refuses to disclose. Stephen and his pregnant wife, Jane, come for a weekend visit, but end up on indefinite stay when Jane is ordered on mandatory bed rest.

An utterly engaging and meaningful read, this book will nourish and entertain you -- with true family dysfunction! Just imagine what it would be like for you and your siblings to all live at home again after years away. Only now you are adults, or trying to be, so the stakes are higher, and the underlying tensions and bonds of love are highlighted in ways you can only begin to imagine.

When my father was dying, I spent three months with all my siblings, and it was as impossible, trying, wonderful, and meaningful as this story is. You can see why I would like this book. I found it comforting and somehow reassuring, especially in light of so many young adults returning home to live these days. It's a phenomenon of our times, and Moore's book offers a very satisfying exploration of that possibility.
