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.
