Description
A poignant and powerful novel about the complexities of family, love, and identity, written in the form of a son's letter to his mother who cannot read. Set against the backdrop of a family's history that spans generations, this debut novel explores themes of race, class, and masculinity, and the struggle to find one's place in the world.
Through stunning prose and a deeply personal narrative, the author asks profound questions about the power of storytelling, the importance of being heard, and the ways in which we heal and rescue each other. This is a story that will resonate with anyone who has ever felt the weight of silence, and the beauty of finding one's voice.
