Families are seldom simple and never quiet, and home is rarely a constant. Sisters are lost, separated and lied to. A mother returns with old grudges; a stranger arrives with a score to settle. Secrets that have waited decades choose the worst possible moment to come out. These heroines have been knocked down so often that getting up again has become something of a family trade. Watch them rebuild their futures. Best read with a second cup nearby.
