This is a book about family. And whenever there is a family there will be plenty of conflict and secrets! Honor is an elderly woman living alone in a house that has been home forever. She is intelligent, stubborn, independent and still mourning the death of her only child, Stephen. But when the story begins she is in big trouble because she just fell down her stairs. She is able to crawl to a phone and call for help. The ambulance transports her to the hospital where they want to know the name of someone to call on her behalf. Reluctantly she gives them the name of her daughter-in-law, Jo. She has some secrets. Even Jo's daughter Lydia has secrets!
Upon her release from the hospital, Honor has no choice but accept the gracious offer from Jo to come live with them while she rehabs. Three generations of women under one roof is never going to be smooth.
Although Stephen is dead, he is an important part of the story which is told in the different voices of the characters. An enjoyable story!
