Full Summary:
A family bigger than the Camden's owns a summer house in Glenoak but haven't lived in it for years. They have been too busy with their jobs and keeping their family in line. They have also been too busy trying to stop slavery in different parts of the world and have adopted most of the children that they set free from slavery. But now, the kids are returning to Glenoak for one final goodbye. Their parents have just been killed in a car accident and their Will states that they are to be buried in Glenoak's cemetery where they have a family crypt. Forced to stay in the summer house that they had loved as children, this family will relive every memory as if it had just happened and finally be at peace with living in such a big family. But what will happen when the town figures out just how big the family has gotten over the past fifteen years? Will they be allowed to stay in the summer house that had been vacant all those years? Or will the town of Glenoak force them to leave just because of how racially mixed their family has become? Can this town learn to live with their new neighbors? Or are they doomed to repeat a history nobody wants to live again?
