"A haunted work, full of voices old and new. It is about a family's reckoning with loss and injustice, and it is about a people trying for the same. The journey of this family's way home is full--in equal measure--of melancholy and love"
The narrative unfolds through the perspectives of various family members, each coping with Ray-Ray's death in their own way. There's Maria, the matriarch of the family, who seeks solace in Cherokee traditions and rituals; Edgar, Ray-Ray's father, who struggles with anger and addiction; and Sonja, their daughter, who feels torn between her family's heritage and her desire for independence.
As the family prepares to commemorate the anniversary of Ray-Ray's death, they are visited by a mysterious and enigmatic figure known as the "stranger," who may hold the key to unlocking the family's past and healing their wounds.
