BFF Book Club - What Happened to the McCrays? with Tracey Lange (E139)

Welcome to today’s episode of Bookish Flights! This episode is the latest meeting of the BFF Book Club! If you love books, author meet-and-greets, and in-depth conversations, the BFF Book Club is for you. Each month, we dive into a new book, and this month’s selection is What Happened to the McCrays? by Tracey Lange.

Tracey was born and raised in New York City before heading west to graduate from the University of New Mexico with a degree in psychology. After owning and operating a mental health services company with her husband for fifteen years, she completed the Stanford University novel writing program while working on her first novel, the New York Times bestseller, We Are the Brennans. Tracey currently lives in beautiful Bend, Oregon with her husband, two sons, and beloved German Shepherd.

Episode Highlights:

📖 How Tracey's background in mental health influences her storytelling and helps her understand complex characters.
📖 Why she is drawn to exploring the gray areas of human nature and relationships.
📖 Her writing process and what she has learned about herself through storytelling.
📖 The books that shaped her as a young reader and have impacted her writing style.
📖 Her book flight, featuring stories with tragically flawed characters you can't help but root for.

If you’d like to join us next month, we will be reading an amazing contemporary fiction, The Funeral Ladies of Ellerie County by Claire Swinarski. This is a heartwarming story of love, life, casseroles and community set in Wisconsin.

Esther Larson has been cooking for funerals in the Northwoods of Wisconsin for seventy years. Known locally as the “funeral ladies,” she and her cohort have worked hard to keep the mourners of Ellerie County fed—it is her firm belief that there is very little a warm casserole and a piece of cherry pie can’t fix. But, after falling for an internet scam that puts her home at risk, the proud Larson family matriarch is the one in need of help these days. Register here to join us on April 27th at 1:00 pm PST!
