In her external life, Helen O'Mara cleans house and attends yoga classes and looks after her children and grandchildren. And in her rich internal life, she continually revists her years with Cal, the beloved husband who died long ago aboard the oil rig Ocean Ranger. Then, one cold November night, her wayward son John, who made his girlfiend pregnant, comes home to help him decide what to do. As John grapples with what it might mean to be a father, Helen comes to terms with her memories of the dead. |
