Synopsis

"Angie Righetti is the daughter of a sprawling but close-knit Italian-American family. She's out and they're proud. Jillian Clark's family is the white bread to Angie's olive oil. Stoic and emotionally buttoned up, they don't want to think about Jillian's sexuality. In 1988 they move in together, on the brink of starting their careers. Like every couple at the start of their life together, they expect to live happily ever after. And for 23 years life happens: they change jobs, buy a house, get a dog. They fight and play and make mistakes. They try to be good to each other and to everybody else. Like most of us they stumble into a routine that turns into a rut that leads them toward distraction and danger"--Page 4 of cover.
