Written with delightfully dark humor and characters you can\'t help but cheer for, A Very Typical Family is an uplifting Family drama that will have you reveling in the power of second chances.
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.
And Lynn, working as an undertaker in New York City, shows up with a teenage son.
But Jake, now an award-winning ornithologist, is missing.
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.
The only way for Natalie and her siblings to inherit is for all three adult children to come back and claim it--together.
Sort of.
Now, 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.
She fled California shortly after that fateful night and hasn\'t spoken to anyone in her Family since.
Natalie Walker is the reason her older brother and sister went to prison over 15 years ago.
Some are disasters.
All families are messy. --Booklist, STARRED review A heartfelt, hilarious beach read about learning to love (and forgive) your family...even when they accidentally put you behind bars.
