What price are you willing to pay to have what you long for?

Deep in Providence is a story about loss, family relationships and friendships. Each of the main characters is well written, with complex personalities and distinct voices, allowing us to know their thoughts and feelings. There is pain and love in each of them, deeply feeling their emotions. 

The themes developed here [such as sexuality, religion, immigration, family relationships, drug use and unexpected pregnancy] are written in an engaging and compelling way.

This book is gripping and emotional, showing the impact of grief and what we are capable of for those we love. If you are looking for a book full of magic, multicultural representation, a diverse set of characters, grief, and powerful friendships, Deep in Providence is for you.
