So--I think--Jake's two youngest children, Darla and Cindy, are aunts to the children--Ellen and Eileen--of his grown daughter Lynn. And yes--it's as mind-boggling to try and get it all straight when you know them as it is reading about it. Just to add to the mix, Jade's biological mother was there, as well as Amy, and Jade's half-brother--the product of Amy with Jade's father (who was there), and also Jade's full sister.

Why is that I heard the persistent, distant sound of duelling banjos while I read this?
