- Summary
- "Katy Doyal has loved her husband, Ephraim, since their very first meeting in Rome, Georgia, when she was eight years old. Now, realizing that her time on earth in slipping away, Katy is determined to leave behind an orderly life and enlists a strange - a middle-aged, robust, wild-haired woman named Rose - to become a caretaker to her dear, dotty curmudgeon. After Katy passes, Ephraim is surprised that his grief is easier to bear thanks to the arrival of this outsider. Even Katy, observing the events from the great beyond, is pleased." "If only Katy and Ephraim's only child, Wyatt, could be so accepting. Even after moving to California to start his own life, Wyatt is unable to escape his feelings of insecurity and exclusion from his parents' ironclad union - and his neediness endangers his own marriage and threatens to overshadow his mother's death and upstage his father's mourning." "But Rose isn't about to let anything distract her from her sacred mission. And Katy - watching her family embracing life and love again - knows she needs to let go before she can "earn her wings.""--BOOK JACKET.
