"What is the point of it all?"  asks Olivia on the day her mother moves to a facility that cares for Alzheimer's victims.  She wrestles with guilt that she somehow caused her brother's death in Vietnam by throwing harsh anti-war words at him the night before he left for battle.  A neighbor and friend is killed by a hay bale and another neighbor's baby dies of SIDS.  If there is a God why does he allow all this suffering?  Why does he allow a disease like Alzheimer's to eat away and consume her mother's brain.  Livi buries her sorrow, guilt, and disappointment in alcohol.  The Wilson gang at the family florist shop and  a near fatal accident are Livi's salvation.
