Newly reissued, Yvvette Edward’s highly acclaimed first novel, a page-turning literary saga that is both a poignant family drama and a gripping mystery “The novel is high drama, full of breathtaking tension, and, at times, brought to mind the works of Arthur Miller and August Wilson, both of whom knew a thing or two about secrets spilled across a kitchen table.” —Attica Locke, author of Black Water Rising“Piercing and engaging. . . . This promising new author twists and turns words with skill reminiscent of Toni Morrison and Barbara Kingsolver.” —Booklist
