From the author of the Oprah’s Book Club Selection An American Marriage, here is a beautifully evocative novel that proves why Tayari Jones is “one of the most important voices of her generation” (Essence).
The moving story of their struggle to grow up-and survive- shimmers with the piercing, ineffable quality of childhood, as it captures all the hurts and little wins, the all-too-sudden changes, and the merciless, outside forces that can sweep the young into adulthood and forever shape their lives.
