The Story Synopsis: A Very Typical Family
A Very Typical Family is a heartfelt, hilarious beach read about family love, tragedies, resentment, regret, guilt, and forgiveness. The story is set in the lovely beach town of Santa Cruz, California. It features Natalie Walker, who accidentally puts her siblings behind bars. Natalie fled California right after the incident and has not contacted anyone in the family for more than 15 years.
One day, she receives a letter saying her mother left the family’s historic Santa Cruz home to her before dying. So, three siblings have to come together to sign some papers, two of which – Natalie and Lynn – show up, but Jake does not.
While Natalie and her nephew (Lynn’s son) look for Jake, Natalie falls in love with a handsome marine biologist. She unpacks the guilt she has carried for years, wondering how she can salvage her relationship with her siblings after such a long time.
