A Long Thaw

ebook
Cousins Abby and Juliet were born into one big, close, Catholic family. But the divorce of Juliet's parents tears the family apart and sends the girls in very different directions. Juliet grows up too quickly, forced to be responsible for her younger sisters as well as an alcoholic, single mother. Abby grows up a pampered, sheltered only child. As women, they try to mend the rift and come to terms with the way their shared history connects them, in spite of the years apart. Told in alternating narrative, A Long Thaw explores how the two women are shaped by the traumas and triumphs of childhood. It's a story about the power of secrets and the unbreakable bonds of family.
