A beautiful tapestry of interconnected lives across time, grief, and healing. The prose is warm and alive … like someone left the light on for you. For anyone who’s ever been broken open … deeply moving. 5/5—Literary Titan
At the heart of Pine’s narrative are the questions about how to live with trauma, both personal and collective … an invitation to reflect on the stories we inherit and those we choose to rewrite.
—BookLife
 
A transformative novel … Pine addresses heavy topics directly but with immense care … The (characters’) stories will rock you … an inspiring journey.
