Today's Featured Book and Contest: DID YOU EVER HAVE A FAMILY by Bill Clegg
|
On the eve of her only daughter’s wedding, June becomes the sole survivor of a catastrophic house fire that consumes her daughter, her daughter's fiancé, her ex-husband, and her boyfriend, Luke --- her entire family, all gone. In the aftermath of this unthinkable tragedy, we are introduced to a series of characters whose lives are forever changed.
From Rebecca and Kelly, the couple running the motel where June seeks solitude; to Rick, the wedding’s caterer; to Lydia, the town’s black sheep and mother to Luke --- everyone touched by this tragedy is transformed and connected through shared heartbreak as they learn to cope with their losses and find solace in the least expected of places. At its core, this novel is the ultimate celebration of family --- the ones we are born with and the ones we create.
