Author does a good job of depicting what it was like to grow up in the '50s. A wouman in her 40's is traveling to see the mother she has not seen in 35 years and while on the airplane she travels the road of her own memories. Well written, realistic about the mother and daughter and sister to sister relationships, weaves in the levels of unspoken secrets a family can keep. Moves forward so well it was hard to put down.
