The house fire that extinguished her family's life sparks a journey across the country for June, where in the silence of her solitude, she is haunted by the echoes of her past. 'Did You Ever Have a Family' weaves through a tapestry of narratives from those touched by the calamity, uncovering the secrets entwined within a small Connecticut town. A symphony of voices - from the motel owners who bear witness to June's grief, to a teen with his own hidden turmoil - unearths the complex web of human connection bound by shared suffering. Bill Clegg's debut novel is a profound exploration of the human spirit's resilience and the transformative power of forgiveness, testifying to the enduring kinship formed in the face of insurmountable loss.
