This is the story of the Frankel family. It takes place over the course of three days during the summer of 2005 at their summer home in the Berkshires. They have come together to hold a memorial for Leo, who was killed in Iraq while on assignment one year ago. He is the youngest son of Marilyn and David and leaves behind three older sisters, a wife, and a son. This is a moving novel about family relationships and how the loss of Leo has changed them. It explores the different ways in which each family member tries to find their place in a world without Leo.
