āA writer to be reckoned with.ā āKathleen Glasgow, author of Girl in Pieces and Youād Be Home Now
A heartbreaking, hopeful, and timely novel about facing family secrets, healing from trauma, and falling in love, from the award-winning author of How It Feels to Float
Georgeās life is loud. On the water, though, with everything hushed above and below, she is steady, silent. Then her estranged dad says he needs to talk, and Georgeās past begins to wake up, looping around her ankles, trying to drag her under.
But thereās no time to sink. Georgeās best friend, Tess, is about to become, officially, a teen mom, her friend Laz is in despair about the climate crisis, her gramps would literally misplace his teeth if not for her, and her moms fill the house with fuss and chatter. Before long, heat and smoke join the noise as disĀtant wildfires begin to burn.
George tries to stay steady. When her father tells her his news and the painful memoĀries roar back to life, George turns to Calliope, the girl who has just cartwheeled into her world and shot it through with colors. And itās here George would stayāquiet and safeāif she could. But then Tess has her baby, and the earth burns hotter, and the past just will not stay put.
A novel about the contours of friendship, family, forgiveness, trauma, and love, and about our hopeless, hopeful world, Helena Foxās gorgeous follow-up to How It Feels to Float explores the stories we suppress and the stories we speakāand the healing that comes when we voice the things weāve kept quiet for so long.
