| Summary: |
Calling upon his gift for nonfiction narrative and philosophical insight, Bronson explores the complicated feelings that we have for our families. Each chapter introduces us to two people--a father and his son, a daughter and her mother, a wife and her husband--and we come to know them as intimately as characters in a novel, following the story of their relationship as they struggle resiliently through the kinds of hardships all families endure. Some of the people manage to save their relationship, while others find a better life only after letting the relationship go. From their efforts, the wisdom in this book emerges. We are left feeling emotionally raw but grounded--and better prepared to love, through both hard times and good time.--From publisher description. |
