Book Description
A novel of a fractured family and the secret that binds them, and one woman's decision to uphold the wishes of her deceased parents over her sisters' objections. When Pearline abruptly leaves Brooklyn to care for her dying father in Jamaica, she isn't prepared for his puzzling deathbed wish that she find siblings she hasn't seen in decades. Charting the family's traumatic past in Cuba, their immigration to Jamaica, and Pearline's move to Brooklyn, this novel explores family loyalty, the meaning of home, and what must be sacrificed to find solace.
