In upstate New York, the Mulvaneys are a wealthy and magnetic family--attractive, charismatic, promising. But after 25 years, the family begins to slide, then fragment, then shatter, and soon there is nothing left of the dynasty. Judd, the youngest of the clan, begins to search for the reasons behind the downfall, and as he uncovers family secrets, he begins to bring the Mulvaneys slowly back together in a spirit of healing and compassion.

This is one of the worst books I have ever tried to read. I am not sure if it was the author's writing style, or simply a bad story. I never got farther than 4 chapters into the book. Although I am an educated person, I found the language overbearing and tedious- way, way too many unconventional words used. I had to keep a dictionary handy. A big thumbs down on this one in my opinion.
