Maura Ostryder is coming into her own, professionally and privately, as she begins her fifty-first year. Maura has always been the master of her own life and has reared her son, Kai, to be the same. Unfortunately life--and especially motherhood--hasn't been as easily managed as Maura would have planned after she became pregnant. Named for the Hawaiian word for "sea," Kai, at twenty seven, is both charming and remote; he has a long history of going off the medications he's been prescribed that barely control his mental stability, and then self-medicating with illegal drugs. As the comes home to Maura, he has spent most of his moneyon a month's supply of the opiate painfiller Oxycontin. He's fled his complicated emotional attachments to both a young man and a young woman off the drug, return to treatment for his bipolar disorder, and get his life back on track from the comfort of "home." Exploring issues of motherhood, addiction, and sexual identity, Jay Quinn continues to bring to vivid life the emotional drama of the modern-day family.
