In the first story in the series is It Started With The Dog Jennie and dog meet Sara and the interaction between them changes both their lives. New characters enter in the following stories but all of them deal with relationships, denial, cooking, grief, dogs, religious belief or not, becoming independent the soothing properties of plants - or at least somewhat with all those topics - the last one is a little iffy. This final story in the Turning Point series has Tina maturing - somewhat- and trying to get her act together- at least musically, Sara and Jennie still cooking and Jennie deciding whether to risk sharing her past to help someone in the present. Sara appears to be at a new turning point in her life. By the end of the last story The Guitar all the characters have been through and resolved many problem/situations and their lives go on but without this writer to document them. Think of it as the end of season one of a television drama.
