The Fabric of a Family Revealed submitted by sVfGI7Glt2pz7GZgVB90 on August 20, 2020, 12:02pm This is a composite story of two generations of an Irish family. It's the beautifully written story of what happens to one London family when the patriarch goes out for the newspaper one morning and doesn't return. Even though there was total dysfunction, there was also affection and dedication.
