Description

A young woman’s life is upended when a chance encounter with a stranger forces her to confront the fragile boundaries between identity, memory, and desire. As she navigates love, family, and the long aftershocks of trauma, she becomes entangled in a story that asks what we owe to the people who shaped us—and what it costs to reinvent ourselves. With razor-sharp psychological insight and lyrical precision, this novel explores themes of selfhood, power, and the ways language and appearance can both reveal and conceal. Frances Cha’s distinctive, emotionally charged style blends intimacy with suspense, delivering a haunting, character-driven journey that lingers long after the final page.
