But as the days turn to weeks and their mother doesn’t return, they realize it’s up to them to find the truth. Promising that she knows someone who can help, her mother leaves Hannah and Gabe behind to find a cure. No roots, no family but one another, and no explanations.Īll that changes on Hannah’s seventeenth birthday when she wakes up transformed, a pair of golden eyes with knife-slit pupils blinking back at her from the mirror-the first of many such impossible mutations.

Her mother has kept her and her brother, Gabe, on the road for as long as she can remember, leaving a trail of rental homes and faded relationships behind them. Hannah’s whole life has been spent in motion. Rebecca Podos, Lambda Award-winning author of Like Water, returns with a contemporary Jewish fantasy of enduring love, unfathomable loss, and the power of stories to hold us together when it seems that nothing else can.
