Betty Lynne Davidson is planning her husband’s funeral while overlooking one thing: he’s not dead.
When
Suzanne Mullins, forty-two, gets the call from her father to come back
home to Texas because her mother has gone off the deep end, she knows it
will mean having to look at the faulty foundations of their marriage as
well as her own. Betty Lynne has always upheld a perfect facade of home
and family, and Suzanne has followed suit. But her life with husband
Mike and son Oliver is cracking under the pressure of its own unspoken
history.
Looking her past in the eye once and for all, Suzanne
hopes that trusting in God’s love and mercy will set all of this
craziness straight—even if it does mean having to watch her father give
the eulogy at his own funeral.
