Chris V says:
A beautiful tale of redemption, found family and finding a way back up when you're one step away from that final fall.
In the struggling town of East Gladness, Connecticut, 19-year-old Hai is saved from despair by Grazina, an elderly widow with dementia, forging an unexpected bond that reshapes their lives and reveals dynamics of love, memory and resilience on the margins of society.

I work in adult services. I love to read fantasy, sci-fi and speculative fiction. My free time is filled with gaming: video, board and tabletop; hanging with my awesome partner and our awesome cat, Honey; drinking too much coffee; and trying to get better at raising plants.
