Description
In this powerful novel, Patsy makes the heartbreaking decision to leave her young daughter in Jamaica, seeking a new life and the freedom to love in America. Arriving in New York, she finds herself navigating the harsh realities of undocumented immigrant life, working as a nanny while her own daughter, Tru, grapples with abandonment back home. The narrative unfolds with the intimacy of a confession, exploring the profound complexities of motherhood, selfhood, and the elusive promise of the American dream. Through lyrical prose and a deeply empathetic voice, this story illuminates the sacrifices made in the pursuit of personal liberty and the enduring bonds of family.
