Thank you to the publisher and NetGalley for a copy to review. This was a slow but steady beautifully written story. As I was reading this I could see the MC, her family, friends, and community as they struggled to make decisions in a new country. To find their footing, the longing for what was, and yet hopeful for what could be. I love stories like this and I'm glad I was able to read it, it will definitely stick with me for a long time.
