Evvie Kerr has always been a caretaker?of her self-absorbed younger sister Miriam; Miriam's tender-hearted son Ben; and the sisters' Russian-born father Michael, a successful screenwriter who bears the scars of a traumatic childhood. Evvie's sudden diagnosis with the disease that killed her mother forces each of the Kerrs to re-examine their roles in their lively, tightly knit Jewish family, and beckons Evvie herself to stretch into a larger and riskier life than she'd ever imagined. A family love story, Invisible Threads explores the interwovenness of our individual fates with the strivings and sufferings of our ancestors, celebrating the sweet and sometimes disorienting grace of rebirth.
