Pat's mother, who stood by her through her darkest years as a drug addict, was a small-town icon as a composer, pianist, organist, and musical director.

Along the way, Pat rediscovers her own strength, humor, and rebelliousness at the most unlikely moments.</p> <p><b>Pat MacEnulty</b> is the author of four novels, including <i>Sweet Fir
