Annie and Tom have raised three children. Only Emily remains at home. Jake is married and a new father. Mia, well Mia is the center of a lot of stress in the house...and she isn't even there. Five years ago there was a falling out with Mia. Mia left the university and her parents have not heard from her since. Annie is hopeful everyday that Mia will come through the door. Of course she wouldn't have a bedroom to stay in anymore because Tom has left the marital bed and has taken over Mia's room. Annie is closer to the housekeeper, Zosia, then to any of her family. But things are going to change quickly. The economy is tanking and Tom has been keeping a secret from Annie. Soon their lives have been turned upside-down. And their house becomes smaller and smaller as more people are moving in!
I enjoyed reading this book very much. The characters were interesting and believable. The changes the family has to deal with because of the economy are very relevant to what is going on in today's climate.
