Modern & contemporary fiction (post c 1945)

When Tyrone Odam suffers a massive stroke, it stir up his younger brother Myles' childhood memories and events that led to their estrangement. Myles' daily visits to the hospital allows the brothers to reconnect, leading to the revealing of family secrets, secrets withheld by their Aunt Josephine, a surrogate mother figure who had stepped in when the family court ruled their mother an incapable guardian. Myles begins to remember powerful incidents in his life in detail, from the violence his brother inflicted upon him and on their mother's lover, to his own journey toward charitable services caring for the poor and dying. In the end, Tyrone dies without providing Myles with answers to questions about their life. Myles now faces a new solitary journey. Will he endure it?
