Between the ages of ten and nineteen. These are the years when everything is uncertain — the body, the identity, the sense of where you belong and whether you are enough. These are the years when the feeling of being alone and unnecessary is most acute, most convincing, and most false.
Because you are not alone. You have never been alone.
Ayesha Rahman, the twelve-year-old girl at the heart of this novel, arrives in a small American town carrying loss she did not choose and grief she has not been given permission to name. Hilde Vogel, the seventy-something woman she finds in a library journal, has been carrying her own loss since 1954 — alone, underground, convinced that the only safe way to survive was to become nobody in particular.
