In these philosophic and intensely profound tales of fiction inspired by
true events, Leven dramatically deals with the two themes of growing up in a
dysfunctional family and dealing with physical pain.
Laura, an ambitious, young girl, is growing up in a well-to-do middle class
family, and looks to her father and mother to help her mature into a
successful, independent person. Peter and Lilly are each thoroughly immersed
in life, each fortunately having discovered that which they love, drives
them each day, and gives purpose to their lives.
No one is adrift. All have set admirable, productive courses in life and are
sailing along with blue skies through clear water. But that which should be,
cannot be. The good life must be dismantled and harrowing, soul-crushing
decisions must be made.
