Summary
Granny Weatherall is a spunky lady of eighty who bosses around her doctor and her children. She seems so strong and in control, yet she has never had the upper hand in her destiny. One morning, a flood of long-forgotten memories bring her to the realization that of all her accomplishments, she cannot console herself for the shame-filled day she was left standing at the altar. In her final hours with her surviving children around her bed, Granny Weatherall reconsiders her life with her thoughts returning to that incident that occurred more than sixty years earlier
