Reviewer: Carol Kaplan

Brooklyn, 1947: In the midst of a blizzard, in a two-family brownstone, two babies are born, minutes apart. The mothers are sisters by marriage: dutiful, quiet Rose, who wants nothing more than to please her difficult husband; and warm, generous Helen, the exhausted mother of four rambunctious boys who seem to need her less and less each day. The sisters-in-law share an impenetrable bond forged before and during that dramatic winter night.  As the years progress, small cracks in that bond start to appear and their friendship begins to unravel. One misguided choice; one moment of tragedy.
