A Family Daughter by Maile Meloy
2.0
2 STARS
"It's 1979, and seven-year-old Abby, the youngest member of the close-knit Santerre family, is trapped indoors with the chicken pox during a heat wave. The events set in motion that summer will span decades and continents, change the Santerres forever, and surprise and amaze anyone who loved Meloy's Liars and Saints." (From Amazon)
I read the sequel first so many things were not explained (and made better sense after I read the first). The novel began with promise.
