Following his acclaimed New York Times bestseller, DID YOU EVER HAVE A FAMILY, Bill Clegg returns with a deeply moving, emotionally resonant second novel about the complicated bonds and breaking points of friendship, the corrosive forces of secrets, the heartbeat of longing, and the redemption found in forgiveness.

Stunning and heartrending, the most powerfully accomplished debut novel of the year, DID YOU EVER HAVE A FAMILY, now in paperback, follows a circle of characters whose lives are changed irrevocably when a house fire kills several members of their small community.
