But Bret brings his demons with him, both figuratively--he can't kick the sauce and he's haunted by his late alcoholic, rageoholic father--and literally: the Connecticut McMansion is assailed by supernatural...
...family debated whether to go down to be with her in Florida, and as my mother tried to wrangle information on her condition out of the vast nursing bureaucracy, I stayed in close touch.
