|
The story of Patty and Walter Berglund, a young, Midwestern couple, who start their promising life together with good intentions--wanting to be good partners, good parents, good neighbors, and good citizens. As time passes, however, the family they create loses its way, and the choices they make carry them into a future so at odds with the past that the differences seem irreconcilable. |
