Description
After her mother’s death, fourteen-year-old Ava is sent to New Orleans to live with Lane, the grandmother she has never known—a celebrated artist whose tenuous grip on reality is matched by her fierce devotion to an unfinished mural. As Ava tries to find her place in Lane’s volatile world, the two are drawn together by grief, family resemblance, and memories neither is prepared to confront. With Lane’s loyal assistant Oliver attempting to keep the household steady, the trio navigates the city’s oppressive heat, artistic subculture, and haunted history. Lyrical and psychologically charged, this coming-of-age novel explores loss, inheritance, fractured family bonds, and the uncertain path toward connection.
