Bookroo's summary
Tim faces a family crisis when his beloved Gram is moved to a nursing home after breaking her hip. As his parents maintain a facade of normalcy, Tim struggles with the unspoken tension. During visits, he discovers the power of honesty and helps his family confront their true emotions. Can Tim bridge the gap between pretense and reality, or will silence prevail? This heartfelt journey explores the complexities of family dynamics and the courage it takes to face the truth.
