Description from Novelist:
"In this book, we come to know three generations of Whitshanks--a
family with secrets and memories that are sometimes different than what others observe. The book’s timeline moves back and forth with overlapping stories, just like thread on a spool. Most readers will find themselves in the story. Once again, Tyler has written an enchanting tale."
This book is character driven, with a flawed, quirky, relatable main character. A quiet, moving family drama. Domestic Fiction.
