Meet the Kesslers: Marty, a retired film producer whose self-worth has been eroded by age and a late-in-life passion for opioids; his daughter Janine, a former child star suffering the aftereffects of a life in the public eye; and granddaughter Hailey, the “less-than” twin sister, whose inferiority complex takes a most unexpected turn. Nearly six thousand miles away, Marty’s first wife, a celebrated author has a “preposterous” case of writer’s block and a monstrous drinking habit. Rich with warmth, humor, and deep insight.
