In this provocative new novel, the author of Root, Petal, Thorn offers a powerful story of resilience, hope, and the secrets that, no matter how deeply hidden, can shape and ultimately unite a family. What connects us to one another? Is it shared history? Is it ancestry? Or is it love? People respond to tragedy in different ways. Some try to move on. Some donโt move at all. A year after her young sonโs death due to a rare genetic disease, Emma Hazelton is still frozen by grief, unable and unwilling to consider her husband Noahโs suggestion that they try to have another child. She canโt gamble with heartbreak and loss again. Yet she canโt stand in the way of Noah having the family he deservesโeven if she believes the answer is to push him away. As the future Emma once imagined crumbles, her familyโs past comes into sharp relief. Searching for the roots of her sonโs disease, Emma discovers other secrets concealed among the branches of her family tree. Within an old wedding photograph of her great-grandparents is a truth Emma never guessed atโa window into all the ways that love can be surprising, generous, and fiercely braveโฆ and a truth that may help her find her own way forward at last.
