Publisher's Synopsis
"Countenance" is a story about a mother who must find a way to continue her life as her husband of sixty-six years lies dying; and a story about their four daughters, who in facing their father's death, find countless hidden truths. It is about the rediscovery of family and home and the magic that can be found in the simplest things in nature and the world around us, and a story about that same magic that is hidden away in each of us.
