Wynn Tynan, a young woman growing up in rural Maine, has been raised by her accomplished parents to be an artist. When Wynn's idyllic life takes a brief wrong turn -- she becomes pregnant as a teenager -- her loving but dominating mother is determined that her goals remain intact, and with reluctance, Wynn gives the baby up for adoption. At art school, she meets Patrick Foss, with his golden eyes, ragged sweaters, and single-minded devotion to his sculpture, and knows she has found the love of her life. But fate intervenes with a tragedy from her past, and Wynn's life spirals into nightmare. In an effort to make sense of her life -- both the horror and the eventual redemption -- Wynn asks herself five crucial questions. This novel, written in Wynn's voice, is her answer to them. There have been many books written about the bond between mother and daughter, but perhaps none so unusual as Five Questions. With the compassion and insight of Wally Lamb and with a strong dose of sagacious wit, Kitty Burns Florey brings us the heartbreaking story of mother love gone wrong, of terrible loss, and of the unexpected blessing of a second chance. As Wynn descends into the depths and then, miraculously, has a chance to begin anew, we participate in an extraordinary drama of the loves and losses of three generations of remarkable women. |
