| Summary |
When Rebecca Monroe - married to Alistair, a scientist who doesn't believe in fate, but rather genetic disposition - discovers that she is pregnant, she begins to question what makes us who we are and whether her own precarious family history will play a role in her future. For Rebecca, everything about her family members begins to take on greater meaning - from simple words said at the breakfast table to the slope of one's forehead of the color of one's eyes. As the women in her family - her deeply loving mother, her hippie aunt, and her sister with an overactive imagination - circle around her as her due date approaches, Rebecca contemplates the generations of women who came before her and how their legacy has shaped her own life. |
