Lynn Steger Strong has published four standalone novels between 2016 and 2025. Each follows a different set of characters but returns to her recurring interests: family dynamics, financial anxiety, and the choices people make when things fall apart.
Want (2020) got the most critical attention, exploring a woman’s life as it unravels financially and personally. Flight (2022) takes a wider lens, following an extended family over a holiday gathering. The Float Test (2025) moves to Florida to follow the Kenner siblings through a difficult summer.
