"At thirty-six, Kelly Corrigan had a marriage that worked, two kids and a weekly newspaper column. Yet Kelly still saw herself as the daughter of garrulous charmer George Corrigan. She was living in the Middle Place - comfortably wedged between her adult duties and her parents' care. But Kelly is shoved into coming-of-age when she finds a lump in her breast - and gets the diagnosis no one wants to hear. When George, too, learns he has late-stage cancer, it's Kelly's turn to look after the man who'd always taken care of her - and to finally take the leap and grow up."--Publisher description.
