Summary

Hanging Fire is set on the 4th of July in small-town America. Ruth has survived a stroke, but will she survive her sister Lillian’s campaign to get her to move into the terminally boring Golden Years Retirement Center? What about 75-year-old boy-next-door, Donny Fletcher, will Ruth endure, even embrace, his life-long bout of puppy love? And will Lillian’s son Calvin ever find love with a woman who’s not his mother? Shifting back and forth in time, Hanging Fire is a touching comedy about family and the lifelong love/hate emotional tug of war between sisters.
