Did You Ever Have A Family
by Bill Clegg

Truly Excellent Debut (11/11/2016)

I almost passed on reading this book because of the tragedy involved in the story. So glad I didn't. This is one of the best pieces of fiction I've read in awhile. Great storytelling and really wonderful character development. I highly recommend it.
