As the family tree unfurls, it reveals the vivid contrasts between its many branches. It exposes the hardships and devastating eff ects of alcoholism that followed several branches, as well as the prestige and prosperity that were perpetuated in others. However, each individual is equally important to the color and texture of the fi ne tapestry created by this OGrady family history.
What would you be prepared to risk to follow your conscience? How do the members of a family cope with their own personal grief when one of them dies in tragic circumstances? Should the will of the state always supersede personal morality and religious belief? It is 2004.

He makes the momentous decision to help the injured prisoner evade his inevitable fate. The events Andrew sets in motion cause him to lock horns with a powerful politician whose family is coming to terms with the drug fueled death by suicide of his daughter. To help him and the prisoner he enlists the assistance of Susan Aldershot, a veterinarian, in his scheme to get Williams across the border and into Canada.
