From the acclaimed author of "The Night of Many Endings," comes a powerful and emotionally gripping novel that delves into the profound impact of secrets and the unwavering support of friends and family. Vega Jones, fleeing an abusive relationship with her two-month-old baby and the van she grew up in, finds solace in a small Ohio town her late vagabond mother left behind years ago. This seemingly ordinary place becomes her sanctuary, offering her a chance to rebuild, heal, and uncover the hidden truths of her past. Vega quickly forms connections with the townspeople, including Heff, a young deputy with a passion for yard art rather than traditional policing, and Eve, a compassionate local farmer who has undergone a near-death experience that has profoundly changed her life. Despite the warmth and acceptance she experiences in this community, Vega begins to sense an underlying unease, whispers of a tragedy that unfolded in the nearby woods years ago, and a mysterious connection to her own identity that she could never have anticipated. As a mother on the run, Vega navigates a treacherous path filled with risks and revelations, discovering that even in the darkest of times, there is a glimmer of light and hope in unexpected places. This captivating story explores the depths of human resilience, the power of friendship, and the unbreakable bonds of family, leaving readers deeply moved and inspired.
