Description:
What is it about mother love that makes so much of life revolve around it? The need for Fanny fueled Edmund, Paul, and me. No matter how we all pretended, missing her was at the center of everything we did. We are Edmund the father, Anne the daughter, Paul the priestly son. This is our story.
Expand description
So begins the tale of the Mueller family. After the desertion of his ambitious, flighty wife, Fanny, Edmund, a firefighter for the city of Pittsburgh, is tormented by her memory. Turning to the art of alchemy, Edmund searches for the elixir of life, while his son, Paul, retreats to the seminary and rebellious Anne chooses first medicine and then psychiatry to heal the wounds of her abandonment. In dealing with her troubled patients, Anne begins to understand that her life, like her father's and her brother's, has been a search for love and belonging.
