Family of Choice: Raising Each Other features four A.A. recovery "family" members who help one another navigate life, death, success, fear, love, loss, grief, harassment, and renewal-developing spirituality and bonds they can rely on. Brisk pacing, snappy dialogue, humor alternating with tears, and compelling characters with interwoven experiences maintain a strong emotional pull to keep turning the pages. Fans of Jan Karon's Mitford books and Winston Graham's Poldark volumes will enjoy this first novel of the Family of Choice series.
