A somewhat sad story of a woman trying to do right by her aging parents and siblings while doing all she can to hold her own family together. A fairly heavy read.

Oddly compelling story of a daughter trying to live up to the expectations of her elderly parents and siblings while struggling to keep her own family intact. As her parents continue to spiral down a financial hole, Jules desperately tries to help them while fending off the ongoing money demands of her siblings. Jules finds it hard to explain and justify her actions to her own husband and daughter. She is so weighted down with the expectations and demands and seemingly unable to break free of what she has been almost groomed to do from childhood; that is, bail out everyone else. When her own little family is in crisis, Jules comes to accept that the tables haven't turned so she digs deep to keep her parents and siblings at bay in order to finally be fully available to her daughter and now-estranged husband. Despite some odd and somewhat unsettling aspects revolving around her brother's story, the novel was hard to set aside.

Very heavy look at a dysfunctional family. Definitely worth reading, interesting characters and story. It is sad and heavy though!
