But now, with Charles's sudden passing, seventy-five-year-old Sarah is left inconsolably alone.As grief settles in, Sarah's mind lingers on her past: her imperfect but devoted fifty-year marriage to Charles; the years they spent raising their three very different children; and her childhood during the Great Depression, when her parents opened their home to countless relatives and neighbors.
