Description
A powerful and moving novel about the interconnected lives of three individuals from different backgrounds. In the midst of a late spring blizzard, a young Somali refugee named Sahro Abdi Muse finds herself at a monastery in Vermont, where her life intersects with that of a cloistered monk and an Afghan war veteran. As Sahro's journey unfolds, tracing her path from Somalia to Canada, we are also introduced to the inner struggles of Brother Christopher, who is questioning his future in a world where the monastery way of life is waning. Meanwhile, Teddy Fletcher, an Afghan war veteran, seeks a way to make peace with his past. Through Brad Kessler's sharp and beautiful prose, this novel gives voice to invisible communities, delivering a story of human connection in a time of displacement.
