Family Recipe

A group of adult siblings are painting and redecorating their mom's apartment while she is on vacation. There is good-natured teasing and reminiscing, spurred on by the reading of an old journal kept by their mother. Her writings describe a number of events, both fun and more poignant, which paint a wonderful picture of how families are supposed to work. Even her entry about bringing home a new mattress on top of the old station wagon shows how the fun of family-what "makes life sweet"-is simply to "be together" and "help each other accomplish a task."Willow Creek Association is the author of 'Family Recipe', published 1997 under ISBN 9780310676164 and ISBN 0310676169.
