Seven months ago, our family left suburban Connecticut for my parents’ isolated lake house in a naïve attempt to reconnect. Life had imploded, or so I thought then.

Now, I watch my children huddle together, their faces lit up by our tiny campfire beneath the towering blackness of endless pine forests.
