When Neena's mother utters her final word-Bitch-before slipping into silence forever, Neena is left reeling. The two had never had an easy relationship, but the venom of that parting shot shakes Neena to her core. Now, faced with the daunting task of cleaning out her parents' condo, Neena begins to sift through boxes of belongings, each item stirring memories and long-buried tensions.
As she wades through dresses, documents, and dusty relics of her childhood in suburban Georgia, Neena is forced to confront not just her fractured bond with her mother and a disturbing family secret, but also the ways she's repeating history in her marriage and her role as a mother.
Lyrical, layered, and unflinchingly honest, Leftovers After Life explores how we reckon with the past to reclaim the present. In uncovering what's been packed away-physically and emotionally-Neena must decide what to keep, what to discard, and whether it's ever really possible to make peace with the ones who raised us.
