Welcome to Litsy!

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 big-hearted 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 novel 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.
