Thoroughly satisfying . . . This bighearted narrative of love, loss, and family is handled with grace and beauty. --Publishers Weekly, Starred Review
Alecia McKenzie's tender new novel [is] an emotionally resonant ode to adopted families and community resilience. --New York Times Book Review, Editors' Choice
After a personal tragedy upends his world, American-born artist Chris travels to his mother's homeland in the Caribbean hoping to find some peace and tranquility. He plans to spend his time painting in solitude and coming to terms with his recent loss and his fractured relationship with his father. Instead, he discovers a new extended and complicated family. The people he meets help him to heal, even as he supports them in unexpected ways. Told from different points of view, this is a compelling novel about unlikely love, friendship, and community, with surprises along the way.
