Also, we meet writer Nancy Clark. Her debut novel, "The Hills at Home", follows the extended Hill family as they return- one by one and for wildly different reasons- to New Hampshire and the sprawling family farmhouse run by the family's maiden matriarch, Aunt Lily. The book has been called the "wittiest family portrait in years."
