Colleen has lived her entire life at the edges-present but never quite there. When her hollow marriage ends, she flees to the stark beauty of Southern Colorado, hoping her Ute grandmother's homeland might finally offer belonging.
What she finds instead: Hannah, a weaver who sees too much. Ivy, who remembers her grandmother and the old medicine ways. Krystyl, surviving her own trauma. Tiffany, whose unborn daughter needs protecting. Women who recognize what Colleen has spent forty years hiding from herself.
When she encounters a traumatic event, the truth Colleen buried at age five begins clawing its way to the surface. In EMDR therapy, through visions of ancient ancestors and the fierce love of women who refuse to let her disappear, Colleen must finally face what her cousin did-and learn what it means to live fully awake in her own body for the first time.
A luminous novel about childhood sexual abuse, dissociation, and the long road home to yourself-infused with magical realism and set against the haunting landscape of the American Southwest.
For readers of The Mermaid Chair and Beloved.
