All the King's Horses and All the King's Love, Alienation and "Reconciliation" in a Big, BIG Suburban Family recounts the tragic story of a family of fourteen children, the natural offspring of a single mother who is quite mad, literally! Her mania knows no ends, driving her children like a Pharoah into the wilderness, working them routinely and nearly to death, but like a Moses, too, overtaken by death before she and they arrive at the "promised land" of patriarchal familial concord. A post-modern, real-life story of Plato's cave set in late twentieth-century suburban North America, this "analogy" a variation on a philosophical theme does not hold out any real hope in the end for motherhood, fatherhood, and least of all for childhood lost or found.
