- Synopsis
- In the summer of 1969, twelve-year-old Seth lives with his unstable mother, Ruth, and his brother and sister in a two-bedroom apartment in New Jersey. His father lives with his new wife in a ten-room house and has no interest in Seth and his siblings. Seth is dying to escape from his mother#x19;s craziness and suffocating love, her marriage to a man she#x19;s known for two weeks, and his father#x19;s cold disregard. Over the next four decades, Seth becomes the keeper of his family#x19;s memories and secrets. At the same time, he emotionally isolates himself from all those who love him, especially his mother. But Ruth is also Seth#x19;s muse, and this enables him to ultimately find redemption, for both himself and his family.
