Matthew Wery is struggling. At his age he expected to be surrounded by a lively horde of kids and grandkids who regularly filled his house to bursting with noise, commotion, and love, himself in the thick of it orchestrating chaos. Instead he's facing tense weekly lunches with a rebellious daughter, a marriage on the rocks, too many lonely hours in his workshop, and too many secrets hiding too much pain. Even his dog lets him down.
When hope appears, Matthew must keep it to himself. When his daughter lands in the hospital, he's not allowed to see her. When he volunteers to help with his nephews, his wife fears he'll mess that up, too.
Why is he always the one making concessions? Has he become the coward his wife and daughter accuse him of being? Would everyone be better off without him? Including Margaret?
Or maybe it's time to stand up for himself, because of Margaret.
