From the Inside Flap
ars Mavis Schmidt Holmstead has smoothed every wrinkle, threaded every needle, and cooled every fever in a family of six sisters who grew up on a North Dakota farm. More than their patient, hardworking mother or their hard-drinking, unpredictable father, it was Mavis, the eldest, who was always the parent. Mavis checked their homework, set their hair for dates, and glowed with pride as their babies were born or their books were published. She had the gravitational pull to propel her sisters into adulthood, though she could not have imagined how divergent their lives would turn out to be.
Today Maxine, the second oldest, is a scholar living in Chicago. Judy, vain and restless, goes from one marriage to the next seeking adulation and luxury. Isabelle has found love but has never introduced the woman who has been her longtime lover to her family. Only Janice and Irene stayed in their hometown near Mavis. But Janice's life is drudgery made worse by her brutish husband Norton. And Irene is dead, kill
