The Family Compound: A Novel

Written by Liz Parker

Narrated by Christina Traister

A compassionate and insightful novel about family, broken dreams, and holding on to everything in life that matters.

Five cousins must band together to decide the future of their shared inheritance—the family’s sprawling property in Stowe, Vermont—but with each at a different place in life, reaching a unanimous decision seems unlikely.

Penny struggles with depression and craves stability in an unstable world. Halsey is divorced, raising her child, and contending with an unexpected realization about herself. William can be counted on only to fall in love as capriciously as he falls out of it. And both Laurie and Chris are floundering after betrayals—hers professional, his personal. With little in common except childhood memories, the five face impossible choices. It’s going to take sacrifice, compromise, and a plan for moving forward they can all agree to. Until then, the fate of the Nolan family compound is as uncertain as their paths in life.

As five lives in flux converge and tensions run high, the cousins will have to rely on each other if they’re to have any hope of preserving the past. From the author of All Are Welcome comes a novel about a family legacy worth fighting for.

Book Review…The Family Compound by Liz Parker

This was a fascinating well written novel full of family drama! Five cousins must band together to decide the future of their shared inheritance the family’s sprawling property in Stowe, Vermont but with each at a different place in life, reaching a unanimous decision seems unlikely.

I read All Are Welcome by Liz Parker and really enjoyed it so when the opportunity came to read this one I jumped at the chance! The story is character driven. The characters have depth, they are fun and flawed. The only thing that I didn't care for was the pace moved around alot but other than that it was a good read and I'll be looking out for some more books by this author. Thank you Over the River Pr and Liz Parker for sharing this book with me!
