An elegant, wry, and superbly nuanced story about a woman with three sons�and three daughters in law�who must come to terms with the new configuration of her family. As Anthony and Rachel Brinkley welcome their third daughter-in-law to the family, they don�t quite realize the profound shift that is about to take place. For different reasons, the Brinkleys� two previous daughters-in-law hadn�t been able to resist Rachel�s maternal control and Anthony�s gentle charm and had settled into their husbands� family without rocking the boat. But Charlotte�very young, very beautiful, and spoiled�has no intention of falling into step with the Brinkleys and wants to establish her own household. Soon Rachel�s sons begin to think of their own houses as home and of their mother�s house as simply the place where their parents live�a necessary and inevitable shift of loyalties that threatens Rachel�s sense of herself, breaks Anthony�s heart, and causes unexpected consequences in all the marriages. Then a crisis brings these changes to the surface, and everyone has to learn what family love means all over again.
