Interview with the Author

Congratulations on your debut novel! How did you come up with the idea for We Are the Brennans?

Tracey Lange: I’ve always been intrigued by themes of family and loyalty, and the idea that no two families work the same way. Each has its own code, often passed down through generations. I started thinking about a woman returning home after being absent from her family for several years. All sorts of interesting questions presented themselves, such as what drove her away in the first place, how they would all deal with old and new resentments, and how her return could help shed light on the dysfunction in the family as a whole — because even the most loving families have their struggles.

The Brennan family is large and flawed and complicated, but they rally around each other whenever there is a problem that needs to be solved. How are they similar to your own family? And would you want to be one of the Brennans?

Who wouldn’t want to be one of the Brennans? This is a family that knows each other so well, will always have each other’s backs — even sacrifice for one another. That’s not easy to find. One thing my husband and I have tried to instill in our boys is the idea that nothing comes before family.

My own extended family is flung far and wide, from California to Ireland, and lots of places in between. I have relatives I haven’t seen or talked to in many years. However, I believe I could show up on most of those doorsteps tomorrow and I’d be welcome.
