Family is what is left when you have done something good or in Althea and Procter's case, something really bad. With both of them in prison for embezzling charity funds, it is up to Althea's sisters and brother to step up and take care of their two young daughters. Staying in a town that doesn't want anything to do with you is hard enough but when your mom doesn't want to see you it makes the hurt tenfold. Each sibling is doing what is in their power to help the sister who was more like a mom to them but old ghosts and new responsibilities weigh them down. Heart-breaking but unflinchingly truthful, this is a study of mothers and daughters each quietly needing so much - ravenously hungry girls needing emotional nourishment.
