Set in a small Massachusetts town from the late 1950s into the 1960s, this novel follows Louie, a gruff mechanic, and Dahlia, his guarded wife, who've spent years fostering children. Their household--long-time foster kids Jimmy, Jon, and Zaidie--finds its fragile balance upended when six-year-old Agnes Juniper, an Indigenous child scarred by abuse, arrives as an emergency placement. Nearly silent and burdened by memories, Agnes reshapes the family, uncovering hidden wounds and testing their bonds. Told through shifting viewpoints, the story explores resilience, identity, and the complicated love that binds a chosen family.
