Description

Rainey Royal is a powerful coming-of-age story set in 1970s Greenwich Village. The novel follows Rainey, a young girl living with her father, a jazz musician, in a decaying brownstone. Her mother has abandoned the family, and Rainey must navigate her own creative drives and build a substitute family while fending off advances from her father's best friend. As she struggles to find her place in the world, Rainey is vulnerable and fiercely determined. This harrowing and ultimately affirming story is told through 14 narratives of scarred beauty, building into a powerful exploration of girlhood, friendship, and sexuality. A deeply moving novel about a young artist's journey towards self-discovery, Rainey Royal is a testament to the resilience of the human spirit.
