Description
In a world where surveillance has become an all-pervasive force, one woman's struggle to raise her child in a society that seeks to control every aspect of life becomes a powerful act of resistance. Kris, a queer mother, is forced to confront the harsh realities of a system that denies her and her daughter the basic rights they deserve. As she navigates the treacherous landscape of a surveillance state, Kris finds solace in the unbreakable bond with her child, who embodies a fierce determination to thrive despite the odds. With the support of a community of misfits, Kris begins to rebuild her life and find a new sense of purpose, one that is rooted in the power of queer resistance. With lyrical prose reminiscent of Sheila Heti and Ocean Vuong, Marisa Crane's debut novel explores the long shadow of grief, the hard work of parenting, and the resilience of the human spirit.
