Synopsis The life, death, marriage, and family of Pearl Cody Tull, as she recollects it from her perspective as a dying 86-year-old woman. Over the course of these brief and poignant series of episodes, her husband leaves her, the three children grow up and develop their own families and contend with continually defining themselves as a part of this family. Pearl's son Ezra, in particular, longs for a lost unity and often tries to get everyone together at his place, The Homesick Restaurant. For her part, Pearl is ultimately content with recollections of the simple and ordinary past such as the summer wind, picnics, a country auction, and the weight of a sleeping baby.
