In the heart of the 1980s AIDS crisis in Chicago, a group of friends grapples with loss, love, and the devastating impact of the epidemic. As the virus claims more lives, Yale, a young artist, finds his world shrinking while his older sister, Fiona, navigates the escalating fear and prejudice surrounding the disease. Decades later, Fiona, now a grieving mother herself, embarks on a journey to find answers and closure, connecting the past and present through shared experiences of love and survival. This poignant novel explores themes of chosen family, resilience, and the enduring power of human connection in the face of unimaginable tragedy.
