Born in Southern California in the brightly cast shadow of the Cold War, Andrew Kelbow grows up in an average American family—average until Andrew's father leaves his mother under a cherry tree in the Mohave desert. How the remaining Kelbows survive this rift is a study in diversions, both illicit and ordinary, and over the course of 30 years Andrew must discover for himself the true definition of the happy family.
