From award-winning novelist Nicole Dennis-Benn comes this beautifully layered portrait of motherhood, immigration and sacrifice.

Winner of the Lambda Literary Award 2020.

A Time 'Must Read Book of 2019'.

Longlisted for a Pen/Faulkner Award 2020.

Patsy yearns to escape the beautiful but impoverished Jamaican town where she was raised for a new life in New York and the chance to start afresh. Above all, she hopes to be reunited with her oldest friend, Cicely, and to rekindle their young love. But spreading her wings will come at a price: she must leave her five-year-old daughter, Tru, behind. And Patsy is soon confronted by the stark reality of life as an undocumented migrant in a hostile city.

Expertly evoking the jittery streets of New York and the languid rhythms and lilting patois of Jamaica, Patsy weaves between the lives of Patsy and Tru as mother and daughter ultimately find a way back to one another. Daring, tender and profound, this is the story of one woman's fight to discover her sense of self in a world that tries to define her, and of the lasting threads of love stretching across years and oceans.

I absolutely loved this book! The authentic storytelling, with a Jamaican narrator is everything!

The story of triumphant, not knowing where you belong and striving and surviving.

A new fave

The only bad thing about this book is that there isn't more of it. Will we get a book 2 at some point? I would love to see how the characters continue on in life.

Beautiful story and narration.

I liked the storyline as I have heard stories from people from the wind rush generation who identify being estranged from their mothers. Beautifully written and heartfelt, amazing!

An enjoyable read from start to finish.
