A vibrant debut and powerful meditation on family, motherhood, and the cost of holding on to your dreams, reminiscent of Ann Napolitano. nIts 1997, and snow is blanketing a New England beach. Two befuddled seven-year-olds watch as their mothers body is tipped overboard a crumbling boat. A Viking funeral, followed by a raucous wake. A send-off fit for soap opera star: Susan Bliss. n nFifteen years earlier, Susan is a blazing, beautiful young woman, passionate about her art. Its impossible not to fall in love with her, and so Alcott, a practical professor, does--hopelessly. And so begins the love story of Susans two-paneled life: an unconventional, jetlag-filled arrangement that takes her back and forth between her life in New England as a wife and mother to young twins to the bright lights of Los Angeles, where she becomes the beloved star of a daytime soap. n nIn the present, Susans twins grow up in the shadow of her all-consuming absence. Sebastian, a sensitive artist, cleaves to her memory, fascinated with the artifacts of her starry past. Viola, resentful of her mothers torn allegiances, distances herself from the memories of her. But when Viola runs into her mothers old costar Orson Grey--now a renowned Hollywood star--she finds herself falling deeply in love with him and begins to put together the pieces of a mother she never really knew. n nSharp, assured, and beautifully written, Family Drama is a story told in double-helix, with intertwined timelines that explore the different versions of ourselves we share with the world and with each other.n
