"Poet Sean Farrell is the host for an unforgettable Thanksgiving dinner in a New England college town. Among his eleven guests are fellow writers and professors, former lovers, an artist-turned-housepainter, a bread maker, a secretary, and a beautiful young woman with an infant son and a haunting past. Not all of them know one another when the evening begins, but an impassable snowstorm will lead to a long night of exploration and discovery."--BOOK JACKET.
