When fifteen-year-old Chianti learns that her dad isn't her biological father, her family splinters.
Chianti goes to stay with her maternal grandmother, Ambuya, an eccentric and formidable ex-freedom fighter in Zimbabwe's civil war.
Ambuya's closest neighbors are the gogos: her three best-friends-turned-business-partners, who take Chianti under their wings. They make a living by upcycling choice items of secondhand clothing--when their supply chain's not being disrupted by thieves.
In between helping with the gogos' business, Chianti becomes fascinated by a box of her grandmother's old photos. As she wrestles with the ghosts of their past as well her own, she realizes that time is slippery, that family isn't defined by blood, and that it's never too late for a transformation.
