**INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER**

In the vein of Mary Beth Keane's Ask Again, Yes and Cynthia D'Aprix Sweeney's The Nest,
Tracey Lange's We Are the Brennans explores the staying power of shameâ??and the redemptive power of loveâ??in an Irish Catholic family torn apart by secrets.
When twenty-nine-year-old Sunday Brennan wakes up in a Los Angeles hospital, bruised and battered after a drunk driving accident she caused, she swallows her pride and goes home to her family in New York. But it's not easy. She deserted them allâ??and her high school sweetheartâ??five years before with little explanation, and they've got questions.
Sunday is determined to rebuild her life back on the east coast, even if it does mean tiptoeing around resentful brothers and an ex-fiancé. The longer she stays, however, the more she realizes they need her just as much as she needs them. When a dangerous man from her past brings her family's pub business to the brink of financial ruin, the only way to protect them is to upend all their secretsâ??secrets that have damaged the family for generations and will threaten everything they know about their lives. In the aftermath, the Brennan family is forced to confront painful mistakesâ??and ultimately find a way for

This book tells the story of the Brennan family, specifically the Brennan children. The Brennans own a pub named Brennans on Long Island.

Five years prior to the story starting, Sunday Brennan left the Island to move to California and pursue a writing career. The story starts when Sunday is brought to the hospital following a car accident. Her emergency contact is her brother, Denny, who comes out to California to see her and brings her home.

Once home, she helps out with the pub and trying to figure out the books. When she first runs into Kale, her boyfriend from 5 years ago, it is awkward. He's now married and has a son.

Between the pub's finances and Sunday's dad's declining health, it quickly becomes apparent that help is needed and Sunday and her siblings, along with Kale, work together to solve the problems plaguing the pub. ( )

A well-written tale about a close-knit Irish-American family and the exponential problems birthed by the secrets they keep. Well-fleshed out characters. Smooth prose. ( )

Three stars because it did suck me into the soap opera drama for a quick read. But it was totally predictable. ( )

A slow start to an Irish family's modern day situations as well as their history when Sunday, the daughter who left quickly and without much warning five years earlier. The book up as it progressed, but I found the start slow. ( )

Monday's child is fair of face
Tuesday's child is full of grace
Wednesday's child is full of woe
Thursday's child has far to go
Friday's child is loving and giving
Saturday's child works hard for his living . . .
And the child that is born on the Sabbath day
Is bonny and blithe, and good and gay.

You got to give trust to get it...
Shame and guilt are like plagues. And we Irish wield them like weapons and wear them like medals.
Family didn't mean hiding the hard stuff from each other, it meant facing it together.  And it meant forgiving each other.
