Event Type: Book Discussion Age Group(s): Adults Date: 12/5/2017 Start Time: 2:00 PM End Time: 4:00 PM Description: Discuss Did You Ever Have a Family? by Monica Wood. Funded by the Fountain Hills Friends of the Library.
Library: Fountain Hills Branch Library location Location: Conference Room Other Information: On the eve of her daughter’s wedding, June Reid’s life is upended 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. 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. |
