*Written in large print*
 
When sisters Margaret, Rose, and Quincy Lansing receive the tragic news that a car accident has claimed the life of their mother, they must return to their childhood home -- and to one another's awkward company. Although they are shocked and heartbroken, none of the Lansing sisters is eager to be back, since the painful memories they thought they'd left behind are resurfacing. The Lansings were never a close or loving family. Each sibling had long ago found her own means of escape -- Margaret to her lab work, Rose to her "perfect" marriage, and Quincy to her acts of rebellion. When this crisis forces them together again, they discover that they know as little about one another as they did about their own mother. By unraveling her secrets, they find not only revelation, but also strength, hope, sisterhood, and a chance for love.
