Charity

Denise’s stepdaughter is a med student who swims ocean marathons and runs off to Africa with a family friend four times her age-and also battles an eating disorder. When Judy, Greta’s birth mother, returns from Japan (to which she ran off herself, with a Mexican tennis pro) and tries to ingratiate herself with the husband and daughter she left, Denise must navigate their complicated relationships with each other and with her-while attempting to bring Greta’s addiction to light and learning how to live, in both under- and overfed worlds, more charitably.
