Description:  274 pages, 8 unnumbered pages of plates : illustrations ; 21 cm Requests:  0 Summary:  After the death of the author's senile father and cantankerous ninety-three-year-old mother, she and her three younger brothers must empty and sell the beloved family home. Twenty-three rooms full of history, antiques, and oxygen tanks. The author remembers her loving but difficult parents who could not have been more different: the British father, a handsome, disciplined patriarch who nonetheless could not control his opinionated, extroverted Southern-belle wife who loved tennis and gin gimlets. The task consumes her, becoming more rewarding than she ever imagined. Items from childhood trigger memories of her eccentric family growing up in a small town on the shores of Lake Ontario in the 1950s and 60s. But unearthing new facts about her parents helps her reconcile those relationships with a more accepting perspective about who they were and what they valued.   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status   Aina Haina Public Library Adult Biography B Johnson Jo Checked In Add Copy to MyList Hawaii State Library Social Science & Philosophy 306.87409 Jo Checked In Add Copy to MyList Pahoa P/S Library Adult Biography B Johnson Jo Checked In Add Copy to MyList Waianae Public Library Adult Nonfiction 306.87409 Jo Checked In Add Copy to MyList
