Gretchen Anthony wrote the family novel The Kids Are Gonna Ask. The family includes Maggie, the wealthy grandmother, and the 17 year old twins, Savannah and Thomas. The family resides in the Uptown neighborhood of Minneapolis. Maggie is a widow. Her daughter died suddenly when the twins were 13 so she is raising them now. She encourages them to be curious and independent. Thomas gets the idea that he wants to find his father. Very little is known about him. The twins decide to find their father using podcasts and by interviewing people who knew her mother. Taking the journey to find their father public on the internet brings risks. Maggie helps then navigate those risks. The story is told with an abundance of dialog but also emails and texts. I was engaged by the story and kept reading when doing other things around the house might have been a good idea.
