A big ol mess of tangled generational family drama!

The Solomon family has lived on a piece of land, including an old majestic house, called The Kingdom for generations. 

When the current patriarch dies, his children gather back in their hometown only to learn part of the Kingdom was sold without their knowledge and they have to vacate the house. 

While they fight to keep The Kingdom whole, they’re also fighting their own personal battles and discovering long held secrets that can offer a healing path forward. 

I love the imperfection of the characters, even the (spoiler) happy ending has threads of reality running through it.
