You Only Call When You're in Trouble by Stephen McCauley
4.0
Sue out in January 2024. Read as galley on Edelweiss.
Gone are the days of defining a family as a mother and father and 2.5 kids. Families today are amalgamations made up of blood ties, emotional ties, lasting relationships, and relationships with people who bounce in and out of our lives. No one captures the beauty of these types of families like Stephen McCauley. My takeaway: Families are imperfect and fail us in so many different ways, but these imperfections can sometimes be parlayed into our greatest strengths if our hearts are open.
Recommended for book groups who like to discuss family dynamics.
