Brett and Layla Foster have been a couple since high school, so Brett’s request for a divorce not only shocks everyone, but strains their family – because the Fosters are the only relatives the orphaned Layla has. What happens when a husband grows restless? What are the consequences when a clan prefers a daughter/sister-in-law to their son and brother? And what happens to an extended family when one of its bedrocks crumbles? Using alternating narrators, Caprice Crane deftly illustrates a tribe in crisis, handling the hardest problems life dishes out.
