All My Sons
DETAILED SUMMARY / BACK COVER
In post-World War II America, Joe and Kate Keller appear to be living the quintessential American Dream, yet their family garden holds a poignant memorial to their son Larry, lost in the war. When a storm destroys Larry's memorial apple tree, it foreshadows the shattering of long-held family secrets and the inescapable truth about a wartime scandal. Joe's factory was acquitted of producing faulty engine parts that led to the deaths of twenty-one pilots, but the unresolved guilt and devastating consequences still haunt the family.
