Families are the first community to which we belong. They are the people that accept you for who you are and love you unconditionally. Books have proven to us, all the family diverisities and what makes every participant unique yet so relatable to every individual. Furthermore, novels teach to unlimited readers a message, depending on the situation in which we live. In this booklist I´ve included some of my favorite books that teach us different family scenarios as well as memorable reflections.

​

​

              The Fault in our Stars describes a family that is dealing with a sick child. Hazel´s parents are dealing with educating a teenager while she is going through Thyroid cancer. A way this family faces this disease its by staying positive and making sure Hazel is a happy and a normal person. Also by enjoying life to the fullest.

​

               Another book I think it has a distinct family is The Lovely Bones. This novel examines a typical and humble family in the suburbs which is later drastically twisted. Most of Alice Sebold´s writing is the rebuilding of the Salmon´s family after the devastating lost of a member of the family. They finally learn to put joy in their life with a daughter or sister in heaven and with hope of seeing her again someday.

                    Finally, the last book I think it has a remarkable outline based on family is Saving Grace by Darlene Ryan. This story is about a 15 year old teenager who’s trying to deal with the idea of raising a child on her own. Her boyfriend is not being supportive and her dad is forcing her to give the baby in adoption. Due to all the pressure the main character flees home and decides to begin her life as a single mother. She is living now in a unique and small family and faces everyday situations much different then she ever expected. This family scenario shows us that even if it´s not what you expected doesn´t mean it´s not perfect.
