A heartfelt family drama about loyalty, forgiveness, and the ties that pull us home no matter how far we’ve gone.
After a car accident, Sunday Brennan returns to her tight-knit Irish American family in New York for the first time in years. The Brennans are a proud, loving, and deeply flawed clan — and her return forces old wounds, hidden debts, and long-held secrets to surface. As past mistakes collide with present truths, the family must decide if their bonds are strong enough to survive.
 
Tracey Lange’s We Are the Brennans is a rich and resonant portrait of family life — messy, complicated, and full of love. When Sunday Brennan reluctantly returns home after years away, she finds that the family she left behind is struggling with financial pressures and emotional rifts. Her reappearance forces each member to confront the past — and the choices that shaped them.
 
Through authentic dialogue and vivid character development, Lange captures the dynamics of loyalty and forgiveness that define family relationships. Both heartfelt and hopeful, We Are the Brennans reminds readers that home isn’t just a place — it’s the people who know you best, and love you anyway.
