Only one person knew that Ed Lawson used to watch his sister Mary Anne in the shower. But it is only in the more recent past when Althea, Ed's daughter, meets her Aunt Mary Anne at her father's funeral, that she starts to understand and reconcile her own resentment with a growing understanding of her parent's motivations, desires, and failures. Told in three distinct parts by the defeated Ed Lawson, his manic wife Josephine, and their bitter but earnest daughter Althea, this compelling tale of violence, sexual shame, and personal failure recounts the dreadful secrets of a broken family. In order to be healed, Ed, Josephine, and Althea must each tell their unique stories, and each of them must seek, acknowledge, and eventually accept "the fearful truth" about their pained and haunted lives together.
