Surviving Doesn't Always Mean a Happy Ending

Three adult brothers, about as comfortable together as shards of glass, reunite after their mother's death. In back and forth passages, we learn what set this dysfunctional family on an even more precarious path, and the real punch isn't delivered until the very end. Oldsters who were dedicated to M*A*S*H will remember the episode in the bus, and that's all I'll say. Tragic family drama well written.
