Official synopsis Publisher
When fledgling writer Niya is expected to read the eulogy at her father’s funeral, she does not, cannot. In her grief, she seeks to reconcile the world she thought she knew with the history that now emerges-her parents’ declining marriage, her father’s mysterious medical troubles, her place in the family dynamic. All the while, Niya grapples with the “editorial deaths” she sees in her own written work.
In prose at once masterful and magical, Morgan Christie details the search for meaning in our closest relationships and underscores the surprising ways a sense of duty can lead to new depths of compassion and understanding.
