"Stephanie Németh-Parker and William DeMeritt work together beautifully to narrate this exquisitely crafted and stirring family story."—AudioFile
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 doesn’t expect a warm welcome. Kyle left suddenly two and a half years ago, abandoning people who depended on him: his father, his employees, his friends—not 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 he’s home, the more Kyle understands the impact his departure has had on the people he left behind. When he’s 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 that’s 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.

Critic reviews
"The novel’s 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.”–Booklist

The story follows the McCray family , Kyle who left town years ago after a tragic accident turned his family upside down now, he’s back, and the past isn’t staying buried. As he reconnects with people from his old town—including his childhood best friend and ex wife Casey—he’s forced to confront old wounds and the weight of everything that happened.
I loved the character dynamics in this book—how people carry guilt, how a community remembers and how tragedy can define a person in ways they don’t even realize. The hockey element was a great touch too, woven naturally into the story without feeling forced.
This is a slow-burn, emotional read with strong writing that really explores love, regret, and whether it’s possible to heal after so much loss. If you love character-driven stories with deep emotional stakes, this one is worth picking up.
RATING: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️(4 STARS)

I think plenty of folks will like this book and I truly hope they get their credits-worth. There's something for all of us, viva la difference! This one, to my chagrin, was not my cup of tea. I'll say it, I'm a snob about what I read and part of my problem with this book was probably unrealistic expectations and a too formulaic "love story" plot. For me, it was too "Hallmark Movie," something in which Valerie Bertinelli would play the heroine.
