When Laura gets a call from the hospital telling her that her dad has severe frostbite and could die, Laura is shocked. Not because of the whole frostbite part ... but because her dad is alive. She hasn't seen or talked to him in years and honestly assumed he was long dead.
This is a story about what happens when we realize our parents are, in fact, real people — and that real people mess up and make mistakes.
