About this book

Baltimore, July 1959. The Whitshanks are one of those unique families that radiate togetherness, as their lives unfold in a lovingly worn house that has always been their anchor. But like all families, the stories they tell themselves reveal only part of the picture . . . A tender, touching and funny story about three generations of an ordinary American family ... Tyler's accomplishment ... is to convince us not only that the Whitshanks are remarkable but also that every family--no matter how seemingly ordinary--is in its own way special. --Associated Press
