# His Family His Family is the story of Roger Gould, a man in his sixties who suddenly finds himself a stranger in his own home when his three grown daughters begin to lead lives of their own. As each daughter pursues her own path—one entering into social work, another into marriage, and a third into bohemian life—Roger struggles to understand the modern world that is rapidly changing around him. Watching his daughters grapple with issues of women's rights, social reform, and personal independence, he finds himself torn between pride in their ambitions and fear of what their choices might mean for the family. As the years pass and the country is shaken by the Great War, Roger comes to realize that he must let go of the past and learn to see his daughters as the independent women they have become. His Family is a poignant portrait of generational conflict, the bonds of love that hold families together, and the difficult process of understanding and acceptance.
