Midlife Its obligations and demands, its petty foibles and evasions. And sometimes, its crises. Dreams are deferred, shortcomings rationalized. Like favourite old clothes, petty misdemeanors may feel comfortable, but theyre not a good look. The Talley siblings are planning a family beach vacation all four of them together for the first time in years. They suspect it will be their last. And God knows they all need a vacation. But wait, is it really such a good idea? Corina, with her recently diagnosed Alzheimers, can hardly manage to get through a day without a debacle. Pete is a justbarelywalking catalogue of medical calamities stemming from his longtime addictions. Becca is reeling from her teenage sons latest misadventure. And then there is Kathy, the eldest. After firmly avoiding going back to Rincon Bay, the beach town just a few hours south of the ArizonaMexico border that has haunted her since a college spring break trip three decades ago, shes determined to go back and face her ghosts though she might be better off facing the fact that her marriage is in serious trouble. When the Talley siblings and their entourage (two spouses, added on at the last minute, and Corinas Mexican housekeeper/caregiver) finally land in Rincon Bay, they all encounter unexpected consequences from the wounds inflicted by careless loving but maybe, too, the seeds of healing and hope.
