Told in turns from the early twentieth century through the 1950s, each sibling relays their own version of the memories that surround both their mother's mysterious death and the circumstances of one sister's scandalous teenage pregnancy. As they move into adulthood, the siblings assume new roles: caretaker to their aging father, addict, enabler, academic, decorated veteran, widow, and mothers and fathers to the next generation. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eEntangled in a family knot, the Shaw siblings face divorce, drama, and death while haunted by a mother who was never truly there.
