Blurb (from Amazon): "It’s December 23, 1971, and heavy weather is forecast for Chicago. Russ Hildebrandt, the associate pastor of a liberal suburban church, is on the brink of breaking free of a marriage he finds joyless―unless his wife, Marion, who has her own secret life, beats him to it. Their eldest child, Clem, is coming home from college on fire with moral absolutism, having taken an action that will shatter his father. Clem’s sister, Becky, long the social queen of her high-school class, has sharply veered into the counterculture, while their brilliant younger brother Perry, who’s been selling drugs to seventh graders, has resolved to be a better person. Each of the Hildebrandts seeks a freedom that each of the others threatens to complicate."
Opinion: Eh.....just eh. I made it more than halfway through and just decided that I wanted to read something else and do not want to continue. I picked this one up since I had seen a lot of positive things on Goodreads about it. But yeah....eh....The family, I just didn't care what happened to them. Each of them was facing their own set of crossroads and it didn't seen to matter how it affected the family as a whole unit...
