Abstract
Now a fragile ninety-two years old and committed to the notion of "leaving like a lady," Anna Madrigal has seemingly found peace in the bosom of her "logical family" in San Francisco : her devoted young caretaker, Jake Greenleaf ; her former tenant Brian Hawkins ; Brian's daughter Shawna ; and Michael Tolliver and Mary Ann Singleton, who have known and loved Anna for nearly four decades. With Brian and his beat-up RV, she journeys into the dusty troubled heart of her Depression-era childhood, where she begins to unearth a lifetime of secrets and dreams, and to attend to unfinished business she has long avoided.
