Description
Tilly's life has been marked by bad habits and a desperate search for connection. Thirty years after leaving home, she finds herself at a crossroads when her niece Stella arrives at her doorstep in Nevada. As they form an unlikely bond, the past and present begin to unravel. Leslie Jamison's novel is a powerful exploration of love, power, and the complexities of human relationships. With a keen ear for dialogue and a witty, unflinching candor, she examines the ways in which our lives are shaped by the cruelties that unhinge us, the beauties that clarify us, and the addictions that deform us. This is a stunning debut from a talented new voice in fiction, one that reminds us of the fleeting possibilities of grace that make life worth living.
