From Amazon...
With unerring insight and emotional power, Belva Plain, in her extraordinary novel, tells the story of a family divided and of the proud matriarch who takes a bold last stand to unite her warring children in what may be their last Homecoming.
It is a crisp December day when Annette Byrne walks to the end of her long, curving driveway and drops five sealed envelopes into the mailbox, quickly, before second thoughts stay her hand. Shortly thereafter, with the holidays approaching, her estranged family will be gathered at her country estate for the first time in years.
The sons. . . two brothers embittered by a breach of ethics, honor, and trust. The grandchildren. . . one young couple on the verge of divorce; another, lovingly united against the parents who have tarnished their lives. As the ill-fated meeting hurtles toward a bitter and abrupt conclusion, not even Annette Byrne's indomitable will can heal the rift--until a shattering event alters the landscape forever.

Thank you so much for this book and also for all the housewarming gifts that came with the books. My pets love their new toys. I love the new bookcrossing labels. I was almost out of labels.
I just finished the book and I must admit that it made me cry. This is a spoiler but anyone who reads the book knows that estranged brothers and a married couple divided by tragedy will forgive each other by the end of the book. Plus a variety of other snobby and biased attitudes that are destroying relationships are dealt with. This book was written in the 1990s, and I must admit that I tired of reading books written about fantastically wealthy people.
