An evocative and compelling story of loss and love, this new novel by award-winning author Paula Martinac takes on issues central to our times. Teresa Keenan, a lesbian writer living in New York City, is attempting to come to terms with the loss of Jamie, her beloved uncle, a gay rights activist who has just died of AIDS. Sifting through her memories of life with Jamie, she is reminded of her sister Alison, who died of leukemia at the age of eleven - an event rarely discussed by Teresa's family. As Teresa struggles to find a way forward through her grief, she learns to honor the memory of her sister and Jamie, and in the process, finds solace and a renewed sense of self.
