I always know when a book has me. First, if I can't put it down. Next, when I have to put it down in order to go and write. I fell hard for the Brunson family from page one, especially Barkley, who is so hard on himself and so helplessly honest. As for the story, it is funny and sad and endearing. A good writer like Fassnacht gives me everything I need: inspiration, joy, and the utmost confidence in the future of the novel., A Good Family is an intense, compassionate and very funny book. This is a sharply observed, deeply satisfying novel: a joy, a discovery., " A Good Family is a crowd-pleasing, affecting, and compassionately written novel filled with a memorable cast of characters that readers will cheer for and cry with."-Nickolas Butler, author of Shotgun Lovesongs and Beneath the Bonfire   " A Good Family is an intense, compassionate and very funny book.  This is a sharply observed, deeply satisfying novel: a joy, a discovery."-Audrey Niffenegger, author of The Time Traveler's Wife and Her Fearful Symmetry, " A Good Family is an intense, compassionate and very funny book.

Synopsis
Named a Best Book of 2015 by Chicago Book Review! Meet the Brunsons of Downers Grove, Illinois: Henry, the once-magical father, whose fear of aging and endangered career lead him to the nightclubs of Chicago's Viagra Triangle; his wife Julie, who struggles to reclaim her life with a bottle of Zoloft and dreams of her youthful independence; Charlie, the golden-boy son, who leaves the lucrative job his father arranged to serve in Afghanistan-and returns angry, damaged and uncertain of his place in the world; and Barkley, the bumbling youngest, an aspiring writer of geeky science fiction stories who is interviewing for his first job at a forbidding Catholic high school. When Henry's health abruptly declines, he tries to return to the home and the life he had dominated. But his family, once totally dependent on his love, physical strength, and income, no longer needs him. As Julie, Charlie, and Barkley begin to find their ways forward, Henry tries desperately to bring them back together. In the end, each one will arrive at a new understanding of what family can-and cannot-be. Unusually assured and perceptive, combining narrative drive with humor,insight, and powerful family dynamics, A Good Family is a memorable debut by former high school teacher Erik Fassnacht., Named a Best Book of 2015 by Chicago Book Review Meet the Brunsons of Downers Grove, Illinois: Henry, the once-magical father, whose fear of aging and endangered career lead him to the nightclubs of Chicago's Viagra Triangle; his wife Julie, who struggles to reclaim her life with a bottle of Zoloft and dreams of her youthful independence; Charlie, the golden-boy son, who leaves the lucrative job his father arranged to serve in Afghanistan-and returns angry, damaged and uncertain of his place in the world; and Barkley, the bumbling youngest, an aspiring writer of geeky science fiction stories who is interviewing for his first job at a forbidding Catholic high school.
