Well, Dick's dead. Now what? Margo, his widow, is trying to dodge the tsunami of paperwork coming her way. Monty, Margo's ex-husband (the first one, not the dead one), is trying to support Margo - who seems to be finally entering adulthood at the tender age of sixty-two. Life in New Brunswick lately is a tornado of siblings, children, pets, marriages, health issues, and endless bureaucracies. And at the centre of it all is Margo, living alone for the very first time, trying to endure everyone else's judgements about the woman she is when she doesn't even know herself.
