”I love you.”  Three words that Dave’s mom has never spoken in her 80 years.  Not to her three kids.  Not to her three husbands.  In a compelling, and at times painful, conversation, Dave has a heart-to-heart talk with his own mother about a number of life events that shaped her.  A sexual assault that produced a child (and that would be Dave himself), a 45-year affliction with rheumatoid arthritis, losing a teenage sister in a train/car collision, a lack of religious faith, and an inability to get close to anyone.  Difficult to watch at times, uplifting at others.
