THE ARRIVALS

Book ID/图书代码： 14289010B41673

English Summary/英文概要： It’s early summer when Ginny and William’s peaceful life in Burlington, Vermont, comes to an abrupt halt.

First, their daughter Lillian arrives, two children in tow, to escape her crumbling marriage. Next, their son Stephen and his pregnant wife Jane show up for a weekend visit, which extends indefinitely. When their youngest daughter Rachel appears, fleeing her difficult life in New York, Ginny and William find themselves consumed again by the chaos of parenthood—only this time around, their children are facing adult problems.

By summer’s end, the family gains new ideas of loyalty and responsibility, exposing the challenges of surviving the modern family. And the old adage, once a parent, always a parent, has never rung so true.

Chinese Summary/中文概要： 身為父母是一輩子的責任，但這是「愛」還是「礙」？！

Ginny和William夫婦的子女們已長大或成家，他倆原本在佛蒙特州安享退休後的平靜生活，但就在春末夏初之際，這一切開始有了變化…
首先是他們大女兒Lillian 開著拖車載著兩個小孩，從破碎婚姻中的逃離到家裡；接著是兒子Stephen偕同懷孕的妻子藉故說是為期一週的來訪，但是似乎看來有長久停留的打算；最後出現的小女兒Rachel則是因為在紐約生活不順，而返家尋求父母的慰藉。
年邁的Ginny和William這回又必須再度面臨多年前曾面對過的「孩子問題」，只是這次的問題不只是青少年所生發的問題，而是成年人的問題…
而就在夏天結束之前，Owen一家是否能重新認識何謂對家庭的忠誠及責任？是否能面對現代家庭的生存所帶來的挑戰呢？(Vincent)
