It begins with a phone call from the older brother he hasn't seen in years, informing Terry Shine that their father lies in a hospital bed unable to speak...bleeding in the brain. From that moment, Terry's life is irrevocably transformed. Reuniting to prepare for the end, he and his four brothers are plunged into a bewildering world of medical choices and hours of sitting helplessly by their father's bedside, encouraging him to blink, to squeeze a hand, to nod. Old people are supposed to die, Terry acknowledges in a whisper of resignation. Yeah, but fathers aren't, one of his brothers responds. As the Shine family discovers, there is nothing that prepares us to navigate this ravaging emotional terrain, and nothing we can do to come out of the experience unscathed. This warm and heartrending narration captures the emotional whirlwind, sinning from the sacred to the mundane, as five brothers come to terms with a parent's death.
