Some families are assigned at birth, others are chosen. Still others are grown and nourished over time. Either way, the ties that bind also can bend or break as life takes its twists and turns. Take a journey through the communal struggles and triumphs of characters who are entrenched in the familiar familial feuds that many of us face. Family comes first and last here!
