In the early 1950s, young Heather and her family leave their beloved India for Canada, carrying little more than hope - and the heavy weight of their mixed-race heritage.
As she crosses oceans and unfamiliar thresholds, Heather encounters danger in many forms, both human and wild, and learns the devastating truth: there are worse things a mother can do than leave her children.
As the land around them transforms, so too do Heather and her five siblings. Throughout seasons of shifting colours and shadows, resilience deepens, teaching her and her siblings when to fight, when to run, and how to glimpse the colour in a life dimmed to grey.
Stitched together from betrayal and loss, but also from tenderness, adventure, and hard-won reunion, this is a story of a family shaped by migration and survival and the glorious mischief of nature.
Crafted from a blend of family stories over time - the ones passed down, the ones reshaped into something braver, brighter, funnier - and the stories that remained unspoken. Until now.
