Family is always, um, well, kind of…complicated. Eleanor Brown and Jennifer Close capture the nuances of family emotions in their new novels. Brown’s “Any Other Family” tells the story of three sets of parents who are bound together after adopting four biological siblings. Close’s “Marrying the Ketchups” follows three generations of one family as they navigate their ever-changing lives. Moderated by Shari Werb.
