Edition 2- includes pictures.
On a cold day in January 1978, an accident happens which forever changes the lives of the Katcha family. The story unfolds with this tragic event, and goes back in time through the lives of the family members, from the beginning of their parent's courtship and marriage, the raising of their children, and the loss of their youngest. Then forward to the aftermath of the tragedy, and how this family reconciled with their loss and moved on to say goodbye to more members as time went on. This is a story of triumph over sadness, and the resilience of the human spirit, made stronger by sharing in the pain and overcoming the loss together as they supported each other. It is filled with stories of family life in Midwest America during the last half of the 20th Century. Sometimes funny, sometimes nostalgic, it illustrated what life was like for one family during the baby-boomer generation.
