We were the Mulvaneys

Oates, Joyce Carol 1938- (Author).

Summary: The Mulvaneys are blessed by all that makes life sweet - a hardworking father, a loving mother, three fine sons and a bright, pretty daughter. They are confident in their love for each other and their position in the rural community of Mt.Ephraim, New York, But something happens on Valentine's Day 1976 - an incident that is hushed up in the town and never spoken of in the Mulvaney home - that rends the fabric of their family life...with tragic consequences. It is the youngest son, Judd, now an adult, who attempts to reclaim his family's past by documenting their history and what seemed a special gift for happiness. The many secrets they kept from each other threatened to destroy them but ultimately 'We Were the Mulvaneys' celebrates the miracle that allowed a family to bridge the chasms that had opened up between them, and to reuinte in the spirit of love and healing.
