A brutal, vital text.” - Kirkus Reviews, starred review

“Andrea’s desire for - and journey toward - justice, which is portrayed via simultaneously harrowing and tender flashbacks of her life with her husband and baby, proves a powerful exploration of hope amid displacement and despair.” - Publishers Weekly
