A Good Family is the debut novel of A. H. Kim. Kim is also the surname of the husband of the dazzling young couple in the center of this twisted family drama. Sam Kim marries Beth Lindstrom when he finds out she is pregnant. She agrees to the marriage if it is an open marriage and if he does what she wants. So you know this family is anything but a good family. Beth is a rising corporate star at a huge pharmaceutical company and Sam is a tennis pro at a club. Because of Beth's success they have two huge houses and can afford to send their two daughters to private schools. Beth takes the fall when the pharmaceutical company gets into trouble for marketing their stimulant drug to female children who need to loose weight. Some customers died from using the drug. Beth is sentenced to ten years of prison. Sam's sister, Hannah, steps in to help Sam raise his children as a single parent once Beth is in prison. Hannah appears to do anything she can to help her family. This entire family is loaded with greedy people obsessed with only the finest things in life. I finished the story but I really didn't like any of the characters.
