A son is summoned home to care for his mother, who has long been sick, after she is abandoned by her husband. The story arrives in the voices of son Hex Raitliffe, his mother, stepfather, and others whose paths they cross this night. Through their thoughts and memories we see also, amazingly, a portrait of a family in its heyday; young families, and the optimism that brings people together with the idea of creating something new. The jacket front is slightly folded over at the top. 298 pages, no marks or tears. Remainder. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall.
