Sometimes, in a family as complicated as the Augustts, it's not always what is spoken that makes the most sense. Everything is shaken up when Granny Mae-Anne moves in and takes charge. A force of nature, full of stern words and no-nonsense common sense, it is she who must try and hold the family together.
