Tia is raising a baby when her older brother Tristan gradually takes over their ailing parents' bank account, house, and medical decisions. Through a web of complex family dynamics, Tia uncovers the disaster left by Tristan's meddling in their parents' lives. As Tia tries to set things straight, she confronts how money and love were entangled in her family, and whether her own mothering now goes to opposite extremes. Told in an intelligent and hopeful voice, this is a story about sibling rivalry, elder abuse, how life can become transactional, and how we come to feel entitled to someone else's money.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAnn Cavlovic's debut novel is forthcoming with Guernica Editions.
