Description
A compelling story of motherhood, family, and the secrets that travel across generations, this novel follows a young woman whose carefully ordered life is unsettled by the discovery of long-buried truths. As the boundaries between past and present begin to blur, she must confront the inherited burdens and enduring strengths that shape her identity. Moving between contemporary Brooklyn and the experiences of an Irish immigrant family, the novel explores belonging, sacrifice, memory, and the complicated bonds between mothers and daughters. Lyrical and emotionally perceptive, it offers a nuanced portrait of how family history can both wound and sustain us.
