First book read entirely in 2024! This is a book about family and the lengths two young men have had to go through to defend their loved ones. At first glance it may seem like it is a book about the aftermath of one such incident, but it is more than that.

It is rich, complex, and layered and I had to walk away from it a handful of times.
