This is a story of three generations of deeply rooted family secrets; of a Southern Jewish family with the complex love between sisters & parents & some memories that may at last be explained.
The Slow Way Back starts with a resounding slap as ten year old Thea, trying on her mother's wedding dress, is discovered. Right there you know something's up.
