Description

From New York Times bestselling author Tracey Lange, a poignant story about the resilience of family, the importance of community, and the magic of middle school hockey

When Kyle McCray gets word his father has suffered a debilitating stroke, he returns to his hometown of Potsdam, New York, where he doesnt expect a warm welcome. Kyle left suddenly two and a half years ago, abandoning people who depended on him: his father, his employees, his friendsnot to mention Casey, his wife of sixteen years and a beloved teacher in town. He plans to lie low and help his dad recuperate until he can leave again, especially after Casey makes it clear she wants him gone.

The longer hes home, the more Kyle understands the impact his departure has had on the people he left behind. When hes presented with an opportunity for redemption as the coach of the floundering middle school hockey team, he begins to find compassion in unexpected places. Kyle even considers staying in Potsdam, but thats only possible if he and Casey can come to some kind of peace with each other.

Full of love and hope, What Happened to the McCrays takes an intimate look at both sides of a failed marriage and two people who must finally confront the awful pain of their past or risk being consumed by it.

Reviews

Lange has proved herself to be a deft spinner of shamrock-tinged family yarns. Her portrait of complicated, deeply rooted relationships is a sight to behold.

The New York Times Book Review

"The novels emotional range is impressive, particularly the slow-burn rekindling between its two leads, and snowy, close-knit Potsdam comes to life. Readers in search of a perceptive and rewarding family drama need look no further."

Publishers Weekly

Lange's characters are memorable, and their struggles feel epic yet real.
