Author: Ann Packer
Rating: 4 out of 5 stars
Format: Audiobook
Summary: Bill Packer buys land when he's starting out in the Bay Area as a young doctor. It will be the perfect place to raise a family that doesn't exist yet. He meets Penny Greenway and they have four kids. Years later, the youngest, James, appears and uproots the other kid's lives. What does James want after all these years?
Review: As previously stated in past reviews, I'm a sucker for three things--post apocalypse stories, addiction tales and dysfunctional families. Side note; Imagine a story about all three? Well, this one is just the latter but it's still good. There's a good balance of shifting between the parents and the kids, although the ending is a bit fuzzy for me. Also, it takes place in the Bay Area. Overall, good character depth and things aren't fully resolved, which I like.
