In Landslide, Susan Conley describes a mother working to keep her family together in coastal Maine after her husband is injured in a fishing accident and hospitalized in a distant town. Her teenaged boys are struggling to grow up. The fishing industry along with the whole coastal economy is beginning to slide. As she waits for her husband to come home, she is holding the family together while trying to keep her artistic career going. Full of tender moments as well as the clash of family dynamics, Landslide visits contemporary Maine economic and environmental issues for working class families.
