“A vivid and often wise exploration of grief, told through the lens of alternating narrators in a family with a larger-than-life patriarch, and precocious, precious little Gracie, who springs him from his nursing home to have an adventure. LeeAnn, Gracie’s mother, is still grieving the loss of her own mother, and the betrayal of Dan, her husband. Throw in a gaggle of judgmental suburban mothers and we have a page-turner novel as they all rush to find Gracie before her grandfather, suffering from dementia, makes a fatal misjudgment. Sun Seekers explores how we grieve and who we love, despite our struggles to maintain a brave front in the aftermath of great loss.”
