When Janis Ahlenberg is twelve, her mother gives birth to triplets-a turn of events that leads to Janis being prematurely pressed out into the world. Many years later-as a mature professional woman who is undergoing the painful dislocation of divorce after having been a wife for thirty years, and a mother-she returns to this family of origin to find that florid mental illness has dominated the family homelife for decades.

Ultimately, however, it's one question in particular-Where did it all start?-that grabs hold of Ahlenberg and leads her to explore the what, the where, and the persistence of love.
