Percy dreams of a loving relationship with his father, while Sis longs for a strong mother who will stand up to her abusive husband. Baby Oops retreats to a world of books where family conflict and parental neglect can't reach her. Told with captivating grit, humor, and insight, this tale of family discord carries the Albemarles through decades of turbulence until tragedy teaches them to forgive and understand by GETTING THE IMPORTANT THINGS RIGHT.
