Description: It is a crisp December day when Annette Byrne walks to the end of her long, curving driveway and quickly drops five sealed envelopes into the mailbox, before second thoughts stay her hand. Shortly thereafter, with the holidays approaching, her estranged family, who have become intimate enemies, will be gathered at her country estate for the first time in years. Her two sons are embittered by a breach of ethics, honor, and trust. One of her grandchildren is on the verge of divorce, another alienated from the parents who have tarnished her life. As the ill-fated meeting hurtles toward a bitter and abrupt conclusion, not even Annette Byrne's indomitable will can heal the rift -- until a shattering event alters the landscape forever.
