A stirring novel about a woman facing cross-cultural odds
and redefining everything she understands about her family,
herself, and the country she’s never really been able to
call home.
Nikki Baltimore was born in Antigua but
grew up with her dad in the United States. With each year,
she’s grown further apart from her mother and maternal
siblings, potters in rural Antigua.
Her mother’s
funeral brings Nikki back to the island, and, at a
professional and personal crossroads, she makes the
impulsive decision to stay after being offered a job by the
ruling government. Soon, Nikki is embroiled in a hurricane
of an existence which includes a political hot potato,
confusion in her romantic life, and deepening involvement in
the lives of the family she left behind. Will Nikki
eventually find her place in the chaos and begin to plant
the roots that have escaped her all her life?
