Fiction Family Life
Only one person knew that Ed Lawson used to watch his sister
Mary Anne in the shower. But it is only in the more recent
past when Althea, Ed's daughter, meets her Aunt Mary Anne at
her father's funeral, that she starts to understand and
reconcile her own resentment with a growing understanding of
her parent's motivations, desires, and failures. Told in
three distinct parts by the defeated Ed Lawson, his manic
wife Josephine, and their bitter but earnest daughter
Althea, this compelling tale of violence, sexual shame, and
personal failure recounts the dreadful secrets of a broken
family. In order to be healed, Ed, Josephine, and Althea
must each tell their unique stories, and each of them must
seek, acknowledge, and eventually accept "the fearful truth"
about their pained and haunted lives together.
