Just when I thought I wasn’t connecting with the characters, the tears began to flow!
Katia is a selfless woman who, with the support of her mother, invites two boys from the group home she manages to spend the Thanksgiving holiday with her extended family. The bond between Katia and the boys, Chad and Pee Wee, is both beautiful and heartbreaking.
Katia also faces the impact of the Vietnam War on her family when her twin brothers are reported missing. One returns home struggling with mental health challenges, while the family continues to hold out hope for news of the brother who remains missing.
While dealing with these heavy responsibilities, Katia reconnects with a handsome, kind man from her past, who offers her friendship while hoping for something more.
". . . I had boys who needed me— yet they weren’t my boys. I only had them temporarily and then they went on their way. But hearing Pee Wee beg me to somehow create a situation where I could parent him and Chad broke my heart wide-open. I wanted it, but this was a dream that had no chance of coming true."
