Strand Notes

Teresa Kerrigan, ungrounded by two divorces, tries to live a normal life with the constant presence of her ex-husbands in the background. While her four children spin away to their own separate futures, each carrying the baggage of a complex family history. Matt serves as caretaker to the ailing father who abandoned him as a child, while his wild teenage sister, Karen, hides herself in marriage to a born-again salesman. Joe, a perpetual outsider, struggles with a private sibling rivalry that nearly details him. And Frankie, an eccentric sci-fi freak who's been searching since childhood for intelligent life- and finds it. In this wry, affectionately written debut of family love, loss, & forgiveness.
