“A story about family that is at once laugh-out-loud funny and as warm as an August evening. ” — Norm Foster

The place is a patio in Little Current on Manitoulin Island, where city-transplants Glenda and Suzanne have lived together since Suzanne arrived single, penniless and pregnant thirty-three years earlier. While one is warm and industrious and the other brash and prone to late mornings, the sisters are nevertheless devoted to one another and spend laughter-filled days making jam, swapping stories about the locals, and keeping an eye on Patrick, their appealing young neighbour. He's a vet, This summer, an imminent visit from Suzanne’s daughter, Beth, a doctor from Toronto, is about to complicate things. Amid a busy reunion week, the women are eventually forced to confront truths that will change all four lives forever. Where You Are is a hilarious and honest exploration of family, forgiveness and falling in love.
