Amazing storytelling where one actually cares about a number of the characters. Examines family relations where everyone assumes the main caregiver wants that role. A bit disappointed in the ending. (

A woman whose family has issues to put mildly takes an adventure traveling from Atlanta to Palm Springs to LA and eventually to the outskirts of Palo Alto to follow her run away daughter and conspiring sister. (

I enjoy Ann Rivers Siddons books, and this was no exception. Family stress over a mother-in-law with Alzheimers erupts into a run-away daughter, a fire, a movie, and a man in love with earthquakes. Some of the relationships were a bit cloying, but it was still well worth the time. (

Has a lot of potential,but got a little bogged down with guilt trips. (
