A year in the lives, dreams, and awakenings of the Protheroe family . . .

The much-anticipated arrival of a new baby, affectionally called the Bump, affects them all in both their dreams and waking life, but their expectations are upended when Dion is born brain-damaged. Despite that twist of fate, the new addition soon becomes a powerful influence on his parents, his five sisters, and his grandparents.

As the year unfolds, the reader travels through the minds of three generations: a group of wonderfully individual people who define family in a wholly original way.
