Marie Graham has driven from Northampton and the funeral of her
much-loved great aunt, Clara Pelletier, to Montreal to find her
dear Uncle Charlie in the Sisters of the Sacred Heart nursing home,
where he has lived for over twenty-five years. Their reunion is
bittersweet. Uncle Charlie, nearly ninety-three, is failing. His
greatest wish is to know everything that happened to the family
that he left behind when he disappeared after serving his prison
sentence for the accidental killing of his brother. Marie tells him
the story of their French-Canadian family from the time right after
World War II until 1980. All the joy and sorrow are here, all the
choices made and the consequences described. This is a tale of
lives lived in a time of change when old ways gave way to new
challenges and new possibilities. Pete returned home from the war
determined to pursue his dream of a successful business. Angela
learned from her experience working in a bomb factory that she
likes the feeling of accomplishment she experienced then and seeks
to find that again. Clara demonstrates her capacity to love and to
survive whatever life deals her. Marie and Amy and Petey are
examples of how the strength of strong family bonds guide each new
generation. These are characters to capture your interest and your
heart.
