Description

In the wake of a devastating September morning, a young girl and her family are forced to navigate grief, fear, and the complicated aftermath of national tragedy. As the world changes outside their door, she searches for stability in family stories, community bonds, and the small, stubborn acts of hope that keep people moving forward. Blending lyrical realism with a child’s perspective, the novel explores how trauma reshapes identity, how memory can both wound and sustain, and how resilience is built in everyday choices. Jewell Parker Rhodes brings her signature emotional clarity and compassionate storytelling to a powerful, timely meditation on loss, belonging, and the long work of healing.
