So it&rsquo\;s a relief when his skill on the basketball court earns him a scholarship to college\, far awa y from his childhood home. He soon meets Julia Padavano\, a spirited and a mbitious young woman who surprises William with her appreciation of his qu iet steadiness. With Julia comes her family\; she is inseparable from her three younger sisters: Sylvie\, the dreamer\, is happiest with her nose in a book and imagines a future different from the expected path of wife and mother\; Cecelia\, the family&rsquo\;s artist\; and Emeline\, who patient ly takes care of all of them. Happily\, the Padavanos fold Julia&rsquo\;s new boyfriend into their loving\, chaotic household.
\nBut then dark ness from William&rsquo\;s past surfaces\, jeopardizing not only Julia&rsq uo\;s carefully orchestrated plans for their future\, but the sisters&rsqu o\; unshakeable loyalty to one another. The result is a catastrophic famil y rift that changes their lives for generations. Will the loyalty that onc e rooted them be strong enough to draw them back together when it matters most?
