Publisher's Synopsis
A family's simple life is caught up in the fire of success. The advancement of three sons being carefully monitored growing up in Flippin, Arkansas is in contrast with a fourth obscured offshoot who tolerates hell in a western state. The Talbot family remains ignorant of Raymond Vance until they are not. The proverbial bites of apple brings with maturity exposure of sins; old and new, unwanted responsibilities, illumination of failures and the loss of autonomy with success. Will the western appendix of the wealthy Talbot family be welcomed? And who caught Sissy Talbot's wagging tail?
