The Wyeth family’s Palm Springs Christmas reunion is already a tense affair between
conservative parents Lyman and Polly, former GOP celebrities, their two grown children and Polly’s liberal alcoholic sister, Silda. Any sense of peace vanishes completely when daughter Brooke, a once promising novelist, announces she is about to publish a tell-all memoir that threatens to tarnish her prominent family’s past and reopen old wounds. As Brooke confesses her true motivations behind the book, she learns the real history is more shocking than she ever knew.
