Publisher's summary

“Profoundly honest, shapely, ambitious, engrossing.” (New York Times Book Review)

From best-selling author Sue Miller comes a masterful novel about the life of a large family that is deeply bonded by the stranger in their midst - an autistic child.

The whole world could not have broken the spirit and strength of the Eberhardt family of 1948. Lainey is a wonderful if slightly eccentric mother. David is a good father, sometimes sarcastic, always cool-tempered. Two wonderful children round out the perfect picture. Then the third child arrives - and life is never the same again. Over the next 40 years, the Eberhardt family struggles to live with a flood tide of upheaval and heartbreak, love and betrayal, passion and pain...hoping they can someday heal their hearts.

Family Pictures is an unforgettable, insightful, and resounding novel of strength and resiliency against overwhelming circumstances.

Beautiful descriptive writing

Loved the long languid descriptions of the books characters and life situations. I empathized with Lainey and David and each of the children as they aged and found their individual ways through life. I feel that I learned something about what it’s like to have a severely disabled person in a family and the impact that it has on each and every family member. It is not easy and the author wrote about the psychological effects it had on each of them.
