Family is a loaded word. Who defines it? Certainly, it is the beginning for all of us.

The good and bad experiences, the values and prejudices, the traumas and secrets - often hidden or unclear - embed themselves within us. Can unseen damages influence our behavior and ability to love?

Leaving the judgment and cruelty of her mother behind her, Ellen, a recently divorced young woman, launches her new beginning in Nashville as an elementary school librarian. It is the warmth and spontaneity of Pauli, a latch-key child, who opens a whole new world for Ellen. As she forms a deep friendship with Laura, Pauli's mother, Ellen becomes part of a close-knit group of friends who feel more like family to Ellen than any she has ever known. Pauli is a hoot, making the reader laugh out loud and want to join in their Friday night line dance. Ida, almost a surrogate mother, Whitt, a handsome, tender musician, and his son Mickey, who is Pauli's best friend, develop bonds of love and loyalty. These bonds are strongly tested when a hard fought battle with cancer is waged, and a new family is born from sorrow with hope for new beginnings.
