Description:

How do you maintain family traditions, or build new ones, after a divorce? Would an 8,000-piece jigsaw puzzle help? Michelle Orange thinks so. In fact, she'd even go 12,500. This lovely and unconventional radio telling is about Michelle and her father, about tradition and habit, obsession and commitment, and the Sistine Chapel Ceiling and the Garden of Earthly Delights.
