At twelve, Lucy Marie McGowan already knows she’ll be a
psychologist when she grows up. And her quirky and
conflicted family provides plenty of opportunity for her to
practice her calling. Now Lucy, her “profoundly gifted” twin
brother, Milo, her commitment-phobic mother, and her New Age
grandmother are leaving Chicago for Timber Falls, Wisconsin,
to care for her dying grandfather—a complex and difficult
man whose failure as a husband and father still painfully
echoes down through the years.
Lucy believes her time
in the rural town where the McGowan story began will provide
a key piece to the puzzle of her family’s broken past, and
perhaps even reveal the truth about her own missing father.
But what she discovers is so much more—a lesson about the
paradoxes of love and the grace of forgiveness that the
adults around her will need help in remembering if their
family is ever to find peace and embrace the future.
By turns heart-wrenching and heart-mending, Thank
You for All Things is a powerful and poignant novel by a
brilliant storyteller who illustrates that when it comes to
matters of family and love, often it is the innocent who
force others to confront their darkest secrets.
