The novella is a searing portrait of family dynamics in contemporary America. The Starling family consists of Robert, the workaholic surgeon; his wife Sharon, the emotionally volatile mother of three daughters: Chelsea, the eldest, who craves wealth and power; Emma, who becomes an advocate for women's rights; and Charlotte, the youngest, who wants to get as far away as possible from her suburban upbringing. Family tragedy strikes, however, forcing the family to face unpleasant truths.
