The Family Tabor
Cherise Wolas
Harry Tabor is about to receive the Man of the Decade award. As he enters his twilight years, this distinction seems like the culmination to a life well lived. A perfect life. A life spent helping Jewish refugees from all over the globe find a better life in America, giving them a second chance.Harry knows all about second chances. He has the perfect marriage—his wife, Roma, is an eminent child psychologist, and they tell each other almost everything. His three grown children, Phoebe, Camille, and Simon, are all accomplished. But his life could have very well taken a different turn if, seemingly a lifetime ago, he hadn’t uprooted everyone from their life in Connecticut and brought them out to the desert, literally, where they knew no one and he could start again.In The Family Tabor, Cherise Wolas examines the five members of the Tabor family as they prepare to celebrate Harry. Through each of their points of view, we see family members whose lives are built on lies, both to themselves and to others, and how these all come crashing down during a seventy-two-hour period.

For the girl from Port Colborne and the boy from the Bronx,
who found each other and married,
and became and remain my parents.
Epigraph (#u5ebcac6a-b004-5078-bd8f-970604c811ee)
It was the mind that was woven, the mind that was jerked
And tufted in straggling thunder and shattered sun.
—Wallace Stevens
Put your ear down close to your soul and listen hard.
—Anne Sexton
