Dory Lebrun shouldn't
be sporting a black eye on the day she and Kirk Hansen
are going public with their wedding engagement. But
Dory is a couple’s counselor, and one of her clients
has a mean right hook. Dory's already divorced one husband
herself. But at thirty-eight, she thinks she's found
the love of her life, the father for her yet to be conceived
children...Kirk Hansen. Then again, maybe she hasn't.
Dory's fey aunt Ellen pulls Dory aside and says Dory
can't marry Kirk because Kirk might be Dory's half-brother.
Dory decides not to tell Kirk what her aunt has said,
but to find the truth of Kirk's parentage on her own.
Only the truth involves way too many family secrets
and way too many families. And those secrets are layered
as deeply as an archeological site and are just as difficult
to excavate. With earnest foolhardiness, Dory explores
questions of broken photos, broken hearts, alcoholism,
biological uncertainty, closeted lives, DNA testing,
and unethical therapeutic techniques. And her relationship
with Kirk slowly melts down. Finally, Dory begins to
see the light at the end of the truth tunnel. But when
she reaches that light, will Dory and Kirk need couples
counseling themselves?
