This is a novel about a fairly ordinary family - at least on the surface. Margaret and Roger have raised three children who are now grown up with kids of their own. Roger is still working and doing a lot of traveling - and she has a feeling she knows what is going on during some of that time. Their daughter Maura has married her college sweetheart and they have three children. Life is pretty good, if you ignore the fact that Pete drinks a bit too much and Maura spends a lot of time talking to her dog's vet. Normal life ends suddenly. Maura is walking her two sons to school while pushing her daughter in the stroller and walking the dog. When her cell phone vibrates in her pocket she happily takes it out to check that the display is the one she wants to see. She begins to send a reply when she hears the squealing brakes. That is it for normal. Will a tragedy bring people closer together or shatter their relationships forever? The book kept my interest and seemed true to life. I enjoyed reading it.
