Synopsis
What
happens when two sisters who were torn apart when their young mother abandoned
them—and grew up in tragically different circumstances—reunite thirty-five
years later to find her? For readers who love Jodi Picoult, acclaimed author
Amy Hatvany fearlessly explores complex family issues in her gripping,
provocative new novel.
Natalie
Clark knew never to ask her sensitive adoptive mother questions about her past.
She doesn’t even know her birth mother’s name—only that the young woman signed
parental rights over to the state when Natalie was a baby. Now Natalie’s own
daughter must complete a family tree project for school, and Natalie is
determined to unearth the truth about her roots.
Brooke
Walker doesn’t have a family. At least, that’s what she tells herself after
being separated from her mother and her little sister at age four. Having grown
up in a state facility and countless foster homes, Brooke survives the only way
she knows how, by relying on herself. So when she discovers she’s pregnant,
Brooke faces a heart-wrenching decision: give up her baby or raise the child
completely on her own. Scared and confused, she feels lost until a surprise
encounter gives her hope for the future.
How
do our early experiences—the subtle and the traumatic—define us as adults? How
do we build relationships when we’ve been deprived of real connection?
Critically acclaimed author Amy Hatvany considers controversial and complicated
questions about childhood through the lens of her finely crafted characters in
this astute novel about mending wounds by diving into the truth of what first
tore us apart.
