A tender portrait of a tangled, complicated, all-too real family, THE ARRIVALS left me happy, teary and fulfilled. A sparkling, page-turning read.' Allison Winn Scotch, NYT bestselling author of THE ONE THAT I WANT
The idyllic life of empty nesters Ginny and William Owens is shattered forever when all three of their adult children suddenly return home to stay - indefinitely.
First, eldest daughter Lillian arrives with her two young children in tow, her once happy marriage in tatters. Next comes younger brother Stephen and his fiercely ambitious and BlackBerry-addicted Wall Street wife Jane, is forced to extend a grudging weekend visit into a month's-long bed rest.
When Rachel, the youngest, arrives nursing a secret of her own, the Owens' once peaceful home is transformed into the chaos of their child-rearing days. Only this time around, their house is filled with adult children and their grown-up problems.
At summer's end, when a mother is faced with her worst fear, each Owen has learned their own lesson in love and loyalty, and what really matters.
This brilliant portrait of an all-too-real family is guaranteed to make you phone home.
