"WANTED: a whole new family to share holidays with. Please have a
good heart and be a thoughtful, polite person. No sociopaths, no
pedophiles, no fans of the Kardashians. We're not weirdos, I
promise. I love old Steve Martin movies, new Steve Martin banjo
tunes, Indian food, and reruns of Bob Ross painting happy little
trees. So if you're looking for something other than the typical
family dysfunction this Christmas, drop us a line." After losing
her beloved mother to cancer, 37-year-old Jaime Collins must
confront the ugly fact that she and her siblings don't actually
like one another. At all. Fueled by grief and an epic argument at
Thanksgiving dinner, Jaime decides to 'divorce' her siblings and
posts an ad on Craigslist for a new family for Christmas. What
happens next is a heartwarming, funny, and surprising journey to
forgiveness and healing. Is blood really thicker than water? And
how far do we have to go to find our way back home again? Dedicated
to anyone who has ever wanted to unfriend a relative on Facebook,
ALL THE LONELY PEOPLE is about family: those you make ... and those
you make peace with.
