Empty nesters find their quiet life suddenly full of drama as each of their grown children returns home in this funny and heartwarming novel.

It's early summer when Ginny and William's peaceful life in Vermont comes to an abrupt halt. First, their daughter Lillian arrives with her two children, looking for an escape from her crumbling marriage. Next, their son Stephen and his pregnant wife Jane show up for a weekend visit, which extends indefinitely when Jane ends up on bed rest. When their youngest daughter Rachel appears, fleeing her difficult life in New York, Ginny and William find themselves consumed again by the chaos of parenthood -- only this time, their children are facing adult problems.

It's a challenging time, but one full of love. By summer's end, the family discovers new understandings of loyalty and responsibility. And the old adage -- once a parent, always a parent -- has never rung so true.
