Description
A family’s carefully arranged life is upended when a child’s identity and needs come into sharper focus, forcing everyone to confront what they believe love, truth, and belonging require. Told with warmth and emotional precision, this novel follows the ripple effects of a relationship that challenges assumptions and asks how a community—and a household—can adapt without losing itself. As the characters navigate shifting roles, difficult conversations, and the longing to be seen, the story explores themes of gender, family bonds, empathy, and the quiet power of honesty. Laurie Frankel’s distinctive, character-driven style blends tenderness with moral clarity, making this a moving, thought-provoking read about the ways we learn to live with one another.
