What Happened to the McCrays? by Tracey Lange
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
I’ve now read and loved every one of Lange’s books.
This is the story of Kyle McCray who has to return home to take care of his dad after he suffers from a debilitating stroke. Kyle left town over two years ago and had not been planning to come back. In fact, he’s pretty sure he’s not welcome back.
Alas.
This is the story of grief, loss, family, forgiveness, shame and so so much love. It’s a reminder that things are rarely what they seem and a reminder of all the things we give up in the name of caring for someone else and managing to hurt them in the process. It’s a reminder that suffering in silence is never better than suffering together and healing together. Some losses are too big but even those, especially those, need the company of grace and love.
Lange’s stories have so many of life’s emotions at their center. And they always remind you what it means to be family.
