A Very Typical Family - Paperback

by Sierra Godfrey (Author)

"Atmospheric and uplifting...for fans of Marian Keyes and Emily Giffin." --Booklist, STARRED review

A fractured family. A final chance at forgiveness. A story you'll never forget.

Fifteen years after her actions sent her brother and sister to prison, Natalie Walker has made a new life on the opposite coast--until a lawyer's letter calls her back to Santa Cruz and the family home she hoped never to see again.

Now, with a once-in-a-lifetime inheritance on the line, Natalie and her estranged siblings, Lynn and Jake, must come together whether they want to or not. But with Jake missing, Lynn showing up with a teenage son, and Natalie's willful cat along for the ride--not to mention a charming marine biologist stirring up new emotions--Natalie must confront the guilt she's carried for years and ask if a second chance is possible for a family as broken as hers.

A Very Typical Family is a darkly funny celebration of messy families, second chances, and the truth that home isn't a place--it's the people brave enough to love you, flaws and all.

"I couldn't put it down. Engrossing, satisfying. The minute I turned the last page I messaged three friends to tell them they had to grab it." --KJ Dell'Antonia, New York Times bestselling author of Reese's Book Club pick The Chicken Sisters
