520    "Dearest loved ones, far and near--evergreen tidings from 
       the Baumgartners! Violet Baumgartner has opened her annual
       holiday letter the same way for the past three decades. 
       And this year she's going to throw her husband, Ed, a 
       truly perfect retirement party, one worthy of 
       memorializing in her upcoming letter. But the event 
       becomes a disaster when, in front of two hundred guests, 
       Violet learns her daughter Cerise has been keeping a 
       shocking secret from her, shattering Violet's carefully 
       constructed world. In an epic battle of wills, Violet goes
       to increasing lengths to wrest back control of her family,
       infuriating Cerise and snaring their family and friends in
       a very un-Midwestern, un-Baumgartner gyre of dramatics. 
       And there will be no explaining away the consequences in 
       this year's Baumgartner holiday letter...Full of humor, 
       emotion and surprises at every turn, Evergreen Tidings 
       from the Baumgartners brings to life a remarkable cast of 
       quirky, deeply human characters who must learn to adapt to
       the unconventional, or else risk losing one another. This 
       is the story of a family falling to pieces--and the 
       unexpected way they put it all back together." -- Amazon.
