About
From the award-winning writer Rachel McRady comes a vital, illuminating debut novel about memory, storytelling and a broken family uniting in the face of a terrifying crisis.
Six-year-old Gracie Lynn is perpetually curious and bighearted. Convinced she knows how to save her beloved grandfather John from the 'worm' that is eating his brain, a metaphor her mother once used to explain John's dementia and sundown syndrome, Gracie helps him break out of his nursing home, and the two disappear together on a quest to chase the sun.
But what's an adventure for Gracie is a nightmare scenario for her estranged parents, LeeAnn and Dan. There's no way to predict where John might have taken their young daughter, or if he's capable of keeping her safe.
An emotionally resonant novel, “Sun Seekers” artfully explores the truths of parenthood, the ways in which we sometimes hurt those we love most and the universal experience of deep loss, even when the person is still here. Perfect for fans of Fredrik Backman, Clare Pooley, Mark Haddon and Nicholas Sparks, as well as the hit TV series “Parenthood” and “This Is Us”.
