An extraordinary novel about an ordinary family from the award-winning author Elise Juska

The Blessings rally around one another in times of celebration and those of sorrow, coming together for departures and arrivals, while its members harbor private struggles and moments of personal joy.

Through the lens of one unforgettable family, this beautifully moving novel explores how our families define us and how we shape them in return.

"Bursting with wise observations."
