Gloria is gravely sick. When her time comes, the celebration begins: the traditional Jamaican Nine Night Wake. But for Gloria's children and grandchildren, marking her death with a party that lasts over a week is a test. Nine nights of music, food, sharing stories . . . and an endless parade of mourners. A touching and funny exploration of the rituals of family.
