A haunting journey through family secrets and cultural identity.
Stephen Bolin's dying wish sets his sisters on a collision course with their past. When they refuse his bizarre request to return his body to his birthplace, Stephen embarks on a supernatural pilgrimage through generations of family history.

  • The complexities of racial, familial, and sexual identity.
  • The enduring power of family secrets and cultural heritage.
  • The search for belonging across continents and generations.
For readers who enjoy literary fiction that blends historical detail with inventive storytelling.
