The Story: Ed Goodman returned from the European theaters of World War II to start his family, and life, with his bride Susie. Over the years the Goodman family grows and changes right along with the world and the times. A Thorn In The Family Paw looks at four days in that family’s life but it’s enough to paint an intriguing picture of the struggles, strength, patience, and understanding it takes to keep moving forward.
