After falling in love in the last years of the 1970s, Eleanor and Cam are now raising three children on a New Hampshire farm: summer softball games, Labor Day cookouts, snow days and skating on the pond. When a tragic accident permanently injures the youngest child, Eleanor blames Cam. Her inability to forgive him leads to a devastating betrayal and the end of their marriage. Over the decades that follow, the members of this family and the many others who make up their world make surprising discoveries and decisions that occasionally bring them together, and often tear them apart. --
