After the loss of her brother to an overdose resulting in her mother falling into an unrelenting depression, Gifty throws all of her focus into her research. It isn’t until her mother comes to stay with her that she begins to come to terms with the heaviness of her own trauma. This realization is what makes her look past the lab as a coping mechanism, leaving her longing for the comfort faith used to bring her.
The emotions in Transcendent Kingdom leap off the page as science and faith collide. It is both heavy and soft. Gifty’s journey is one of grief, hope, self-reflection, and where religion fits in (and where it doesn’t).
