BEFORE YOU GO
by John C. Ashton
When everyone in your family is fiercely independent and armed with a wry sense of humor, it’s often tough to give and receive love. The Bakers manage to do both. After five years apart, three adult siblings find themselves sharing tight quarters at their ailing mom’s private retirement home. They have different strong opinions about God, death, happiness, a certain handgun, mom’s lasagna, and other matters, including a past sexual encounter.
