Overview
Now in her early forties with a grown son and two grandchildren, Charlotte Flax has never forgotten the year she spent as a teenager in Grove, Massachusetts, with her mother and little sister. When she finds out that their old house there, one of the many the family occupied over the years, is available for rent, Charlotte moves in and plans a birthday party for her flighty-as-ever mother. Some things have changedāthe nearby convent has given way to real estate interests. Some things have notāCharlotte still has feelings about Joe, her first love. This upcoming reunion will stir up a lot of memoriesāand some troubleāand test the ability of relationships to survive over timeĀ .Ā .Ā .
