How to be an American Housewife by Margaret Dilloway

An interesting novel about a woman who has held many secrets from her family and as her health fails she wants to let these secrets go.  She wanted to go to Japan to reconcile with her brother but was not healthy enough.  She was able to get her daughter to go.  Mother and daughter learned much about each other, themselves and their histories.  It was beautifully written and really demonstrated the deep ties with family, how easily they can be broken and how they can be mended.
