Description
Travel back to Mattagash to meet new friends and get reacquainted with familiar faces who are older (but not wiser) As the first flakes of a hard winter fall in Mattagash, a now-single Amy Joy Lawler is trying to persuade her elderly mother Sicily to move into a nursing home. Davey Craft is bracing himself for another blow to his tottering company. Lynn Gifford is trying to protect her children from their abusive father, and the gossips are keeping their collective eye on everybody's business. Meanwhile, the lyrical voice of 107-year-old Mathilda Fennelson weaves it all together in a stunning genealogical chronicle of nostalgia, lost dreams, and found meaning.
