WE ARE THE BRENNANS, by Tracey Lange

    


Literature -- 2 1/2 stars

The Brennans are an Irish Catholic family who love and defend each other against whatever comes their way.  That is until, Sunday, the only girl in the family, abandons her brothers, her parents, and her fiance and moves across the country to begin her life solo.  Five years later, after nearly dying in an automobile accident, Sunday is back and the family is trying to heal; but she's not the only one with secrets. ----- Flaccid, predictable, and vanilla, even Sunday's big secret fails to ignite.  The lesson: even nice people do stupid things; and while it may be pleasant to visit them for a few days, we're not going to miss them when we move on.
