The Bright Years

International Bestseller

One family. Four generations. A secret son. A devastating addiction.

'A heart-breaker and heart-mender at once, this is a story that forces us to confront our vulnerabilities and secrets in order to find our strength and truth. A stunning debut!' - TAYARI JONES, New York Times bestselling author of An American Marriage

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 when a shocking blow scatters their fragile trio, Georgette tries to distance herself from reminders of her parents.

Years later, when Lillian’s son comes searching for his birth family, 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.
