Courtney Sullivan and Mary Beth Keane.It’s been years since the three Ryan sisters were all home in Long Island at the same time. Two decades ago their lives were upended by an accident on their brother Topher’s boat: a friend’s brother was killed, the lawsuit nearly bankrupted their parents, and Topher spiraled into a depression, eventually taking his life. Now the Ryan women are back for Thanksgiving, hungry to reconnect, but each of them carrying a heavy secret. The eldest, Cait, still holding guilt about the crash, rekindles a flame with her high school crush. Middle sister Alice’s been thrown a curveball threatening the career she’s restarting, and faces a difficult decision. And the youngest, Maggie, is finally taking the risk of bringing a woman she loves home to her devoutly Catholic, often judgmental mother. Infusing everything is the grief for Topher that none of the Ryans have figured out how to carry together.When Cait invites a guest to Thanksgiving dinner, old tensions boil over and new truths surface, nearly overpowering the flickering light of their family bond. Far more than a family holiday will be ruined unless the sisters can find a way to forgive themselves—and one another.Heather Aimee O’Neill is a poet, a teacher, and the assistant director of the Sackett Street Writers’ Workshop.
