Gloria is the thirty-eight-year-old mother of a sarcastic teenage daughter and the vaguely dissatisfied wife of a loving husband. Compelled to return to the family farm after a twenty-year absence, Gloria is not surprised to find that little has changed in this strict Mennonite community. Thrust back into a world she has avoided for her entire adult life, she is forced to confront the demons of her the estranged best friend, Des, whom Gloria abandoned when Des needed her most; the early love of her life, Gabe, as gorgeous as ever but now married to Des; and the ghost of her beloved twin brother, Jake, whose death as a teenager would deeply affect the lives of everyone around him for a generation. Gloria's wry observations of religion and family mingle with an irresistible nostalgia as she struggles to find her way clear of the past.
