A tale of grief, trauma, and the healing power of family and connection to culture - the range of this book and it's ability to capture the way the past trickles down into the present results in a heartwrenching narrative. The characters feel candid and authentic, and the masterful way Tara weaves together three separate stories from three different time periods creates a rich tale of history and healing. This is a story that is sure to stay with anyone who reads it long after the last page has been turned.
