For as long as they can remember, the Grey sisters have been one. Forced to band together after the death of their mother, the girls' unspoken language of love and loyalty is what has carried them through the pain. Sadly, their father has not been so lucky.

Winona, the oldest of the clan, has had her share of strife. Pleasantly plump and stubborn as a mule, her intelligence is the shining beacon of her existence. As the caretaker, the brunt of the family's responsibility rests heavily on her shoulders. Aurora, the middle sister, is happily married with two perfect children. Oftentimes, she plays referee when tempers begin to rise. And finally, the youngest daughter, Vivi Ann, is the family's bright ray of sunshine admired for her beauty and care-free spirit.
As these strong, independent women become individuals in their own right, they come to discover that harmony can only exist for so long in a not-so-perfect world.
