“The drama is richly realized and believable in its messiness. The result is an excruciatingly realistic portrayal of the power of family to infuriate and hearten.”
—Publishers Weekly
“Siblings and cousins are locked together via a delightfully gossipy collision of motivations in this page-turning tale of a dysfunctional family! The Family Compound will vividly transport you to idyllic Vermont, yet is also perfect for fans of Cynthia D’Aprix Sweeney’s The Nest.”
—Suzanne Rindell, New York Times bestselling author of The Other Typist
“Funny and instantly absorbing. Parker skillfully weaves the fragile highs and lows of growing up and finding yourself at any age and explores the complex meaning of family when the next generation inherits the responsibility to keep it together.”
—Amanda Pellegrino, author of Smile and Look Pretty
“This poignant tale of a family at a crossroads highlights how the legacies we inherit shape us. The Family Compound’s intricately crafted characters and simmering intensity will take you on an unforgettable journey to the mountains of Vermont.”
—Susie Dumond, author of Queerly Beloved
Last year, powerhouse literary agent Liz Parker launched her writing career with ALL ARE WELCOME, a novel Oprah Daily called one of “the best books of August 2021…a tender, funny, wise debut novel,” and Entertainment Tonight hailed as “one of the most anticipated LGBTQ books of 2021.”
Now, in THE FAMILY COMPOUND (Lake Union Publishing; August 23, 2022; $14.95), Liz Parker returns with a tender, perceptive, and relentlessly entertaining story of five cousins who despite their different life circumstances must band together to decide their collective future.
