A National Bestseller

One family. Four generations. A secret son. A devastating addiction. A Texas family is met with losses and surprises of inheritance, but they’re unable to shake the pull back toward each other in this family saga perfect for readers of Mary Beth Keane and Claire Lombardo.

Ryan and Lillian Bright are deeply in love, recently married, and now parents to a baby girl, Georgette. But Lillian has a son she hasn’t told Ryan about, and Ryan has an alcohol addiction he hasn’t told Lillian about, so Georgette comes of age watching their marriage rise and fall.

When a shocking blow scatters their fragile trio, Georgette tries to distance herself from reminders of her parents. Years later, Lillian’s son comes searching for his birth family, so Georgette must return to her roots, unearth her family’s history, and decide whether she can open up to love for them—or herself—while there’s still time.

Told from three intimate points of view, The Bright Years is a tender, true-to-life debut that explores the impact of each generation in a family torn apart by tragedy but, over time, restored by the power of grace and love.

Perfection

The love is so deep and the loss is deeper.
Get your tissues ready. This was an easy read that has good character development

Deep connection to the characters

Truly moved by this story. As it neared the end I found myself wishing it wasn’t almost over because I was enjoying it so much.

The Bright year.

It was a Beautiful book about challenges a family spoke and in they end how they worked in they own life to obtain a sense of peace.

Life changing

This book is life changing if you have dealt personally with any of the themes explored. The complexity of the characters, the realness, the rawness of their experiences… all of it written in beautiful prose was truly excellent and the best thing I have read in a long time. This book has left me contemplative of my own complex relationships, what it means to forgive, and reflective of others experiences. If you love to read a book that will change you I highly recommend.

Wow….

Life and love, joy and heartbreak and loss all rolled up into one ordinary family, living an ordinary life. This book is beautifully written, and while it might be a little slow at the start, just gets better and better.
