Corky Thacker's Books

Family of Choice: Raising Each Other features four A.A. recovery “family” members who help one another navigate life, death, success, fear, love, loss, grief, harassment, and renewal—developing spirituality and bonds they can rely on. Brisk pacing, snappy dialogue, humor alternating with tears, and compelling characters with interwoven experiences maintain a strong emotional pull to keep turning the pages. Fans of Jan Karon’s Mitford books and Winston Graham’s Poldark volumes will enjoy this first novel of the Family of Choice series. Book Review 1: "Family of Choice is an intimate exploration of relationships and the long work of healing. With compelling characters and nuanced prose, this book sweeps you up in its heartfelt journey. I couldn’t put it down!" -- The Rev. Leah Romanelli DeJesus Book Review 2: "Overall, a funny, warm book that explores how the family we choose can be more important to our emotional and spiritual growth than the family we are born to. With humor, snappy dialogue, and a bit of spice, there are deeper messages of life’s lessons, human growth and maturity, spirituality, and coping with grief and loss. Eminently readable, you’ll enjoy meeting Micky, Brad, Lillian and Sally, and wish they were your family, too!" -- Kathleen R. Ashton, Ph.D., ABPP Psychologist Book Review 3: "I was captured by the depth of this story and the characters as well as the author's ability to draw me into this close-knit group of friends. I felt excitement, joy, and sorrow throughout and was pleasantly surprised by unexpected outcomes. Not only is the book a great read, it offers real insight into the complexities of love, faith, life, and death. I am eagerly awaiting the next book in the series." -- The Rev. Vincent Black
