Fiction
The stunning debut novel from bestselling author Bill Clegg
is a magnificently powerful story about a circle of people
who find solace in the least likely of places as they cope
with a horrific tragedy. On the eve of her daughter’s wedding, June Reid’s life is
completely devastated when a shocking disaster takes the
lives of her daughter, her daughter’s fiancé, her
ex-husband, and her boyfriend, Luke—her entire family, all
gone in a moment. And June is the only survivor. Alone and directionless, June drives across the country,
away from her small Connecticut town. In her wake, a
community emerges, weaving a beautiful and surprising web of
connections through shared heartbreak. From the couple running a motel on the Pacific Ocean where
June eventually settles into a quiet half-life, to the
wedding’s caterer whose bill has been forgotten, to Luke’s
mother, the shattered outcast of the town—everyone touched
by the tragedy is changed as truths about their near and far
histories finally come to light. Elegant and heartrending, and one of the most accomplished
fiction debuts of the year, Did You Ever Have a Family is an
absorbing, unforgettable tale that reveals humanity at its
best through forgiveness and hope. At its core is a
celebration of family—the ones we are born with and the ones
we create.
