Description
Stanford Solomon's shocking secret is about to change everyone's life. Thirty years ago, he faked his own death and stole the identity of his best friend, Stanford Solomon being actually Abel Paisley. Now, nearing the end of his life, he will meet his firstborn daughter, Irene Paisley, a home health aide who has shown up for her first day of work to tend to the father she thought was dead. This novel explores the consequences of Abel's decision and tells the story of the Paisley family from colonial Jamaica to present-day Harlem. The result is a vividly drawn portrait of a family and individuals caught in the sweep of history, slavery, migration, and personal dramas of infidelity, lost love, and regret. As Irene navigates her complicated past, she must confront the ghosts that have haunted her family for generations. A rich and layered story unfolds, revealing the ways each character struggles to forge independent identities outside of their family and trauma.
