Assemble with Care

Many years ago, the Warder family was torn apart by a tragic event. Now that her mother is dying, Josephine is hoping for a family reunion before it is too late. Her older brother, Sam has come home from the States, to help. With her mother due to arrive home from hospital at any moment, Josephine is attempting to put together a hospital table  and is trying to persuade Sam to write to their younger brother, who appears to have gone ‘off grid’. 

As Josephine and Sam proceed with their various tasks, the ramifications of the terrible event that destroyed the family so long ago become apparent.
