The Gathering
Based on James Poe's Emmy Award winning drama. In the 58th Christmas of his life...Adam Thornton's life was ending. With only a little time left he called his family together--a family that hadn't been together since he walked out on them four years ago...His wife, strong, patient, ever-approving Kate: his cold, ambitious son; his liberated daughter; the younger girl who married "poorly"; the boy who fled to Canada rather than fight in Vietnam--teh family he had given nothing so much as his disapproval. He needed to see them all now. Not for their pity--he would try to keep his illness secret--but for a last try to mend broken fences, to put his work in order, and to discover that the end of a life can be the liveliest, more loving season of the heart.
