This slow-paced novel tells the story of a young man whose promising basketball career is cut short by a knee injury, leaving him adrift. Combined with a cold upbringing and lack of direction, he struggles to find his place in the world. His personal crisis sets off a chain of events that deeply affects his in-law family.
At its heart, this book explores themes of family ties, sisterhood, loyalty, and betrayal.
