Description

Maxine McCoy seems to have built a secure, successful life as a television executive, but a family crisis draws her back to the troubled neighborhood—and the grandmother—she has tried to leave behind. Lindy, once a gifted singer, is now embittered and struggling, while the community around her has been worn down by poverty, crime, and lost hope. As an unexpected chance to reclaim her voice emerges, grandmother and granddaughter must confront painful memories, questions of independence, and the possibility of renewal. Exploring forgiveness, family, resilience, and the restorative power of art and community, this poignant novel offers a moving portrait of people finding their way back to one another.
