The most common and familiar use though is for a group of people. That's the meaning I had in mind for my set of family themed short story collections. The latest* of these, Can't Choose Your Family, is available now. For this week, the kindle version is on sale for 99p (or 99c). Usual price will be £1.99 ($2.99)
In order to define family, my dictionary starts off by mentioning parents and their children, but families come in a huge variety of combinations. There may be one parent, or none. Perhaps it's step-parents, or grandparents who raise the children. Maybe there aren't any children. I feel that a family can be any group of people related by birth or marriage, or possibly even by circumstance.* No Family Secrets was the first. Does that make it a big sister to the second one?

Family is also a good topic for my writing group ten minute word prompt. Thanks Patsy.
Congrats on the new title. Kudos!!
The title prompts me to buy another of your books, Patsy - and at a bargain price too!
I don't think I could have chosen a better family than the one I was born into.
