A propulsive contemporary women's fiction debut with dark humor and
messy yet warm-hearted family dynamics, perfect for fans of Claire
Lombardo's The Most Fun We Ever Had and Emma Straub's All Adults
Here. All families are messy. Some are disasters. Natalie Walker is
the reason her older brother and sister went to prison over 15
years ago. She fled California shortly after that fateful night and
hasn't spoken to anyone in her family since. Ten years later-on the
same day her boyfriend steals her dream job out from under
her-Natalie receives a letter from a lawyer saying her estranged
mother has died and left the family's historic Santa Cruz house to
her. Sort of. The only way for Natalie and her siblings to inherit
is for all three adult children to come back and claim it-together.
Natalie drives cross-country to Santa Cruz with her willful cat in
tow expecting to sign some papers, see siblings Lynn and Jake
briefly, and get back to sorting out her life in Boston. But Jake,
now an award-winning ornithologist, is missing. And Lynn, working
as an undertaker in New York City, shows up with a teenage son.
While Natalie and her nephew look for Jake-meeting a very handsome
marine biologist who immediately captures her heart-she unpacks the
guilt she has held onto for so many years, wondering how-or if-she
can salvage a relationship with her siblings after all this time. A
Very Typical Family navigates the messy yet warm-hearted journey of
a family struggling to find each other again. Written with
delightfully dark humor and characters you can't help but cheer
for, this debut from Sierra Godfrey will have you reveling in the
power of family and second chances. No one can change the past, but
every day is an opportunity to choose your future.
