Publisher Description

Five years ago the eldest Furey son, Hugh, ran off into the night and never returned. His parents, estranged by grief, are trying to put the tragedy behind them after a long, exhausting, and fruitless search. His mother, recovering from an emotional breakdown, has lost herself in a new career; Hugh's father, having abandoned his faith and his position as a theology professor, now cares halfheartedly for their two remaining children. Left more or less to fend for themselves, ten-year-old Owen and fifteen-year-old Lena struggle to hold on to their brother's memory—an increasingly self-destructive obsession that gives rise to angel fantasies, drug use, quixotic quests, and dangerous experimentation that will ultimately force a damaged family to confront its past and find a future.

Every Visible Thing

Most people write the cliches about how amazing the book is, and that’s what you mostly see, and I told myself that wasn’t something I was going to do while reading this book, but I literally could not put this book down. The only thing stopping me was school and my inability to use my phone sneakily without the screen reflecting in my glasses. And how this book ended, left me longing for more, and I kept reading passed the epilogues ending to see if they was a secret treasure, but there wasn’t. What happened with Lena and Jonah? Did the family come back together? Did Owen come out to his family? What really happened to Hugh, was he really murdered? Dead? It’s one of the most incredibly written books I’ve ever read, I don’t think I’ve ever smiled, cried, and felt myself in the book more than I ever did here. Lisa Carey, you’ve out-done yourself.
