Furiously Writing: Did You Ever Have A Family?

Did You Ever Have A Family?

I got Did You Ever Have A Family? by Bill Clegg from the library and once I started reading it, I stayed up way too late and finished it in just a few days. It's a heartbreaking story with beautiful writing. I would never have picked it up but it was a book club choice and I'm hosting this month so I really had to read it. It starts with a house fire where a woman loses her daughter, her daughter's fiance, her boyfriend, and her ex-husband in a rush of flames.
