“Be not inhospitable to strangers lest they be angels in disguise.”
In South Florida, against a quiet backdrop of coconut palms, sun-baked docks, and wading herons, Lia finds herself torn between the responsibilities of single-parenting her teenage son, Amare, and being a caregiver for Lou, an ornery homebound retiree who is more of a pain in her backside than the injections she puts in his.
When Lia’s father passes away, she travels home and takes Amare on a tour of Washington, DC, initiating a journey that leads her to uncover life-shattering secrets. As Lia discovers that threads from the past are woven into the present, she is jolted forward into a future she never expected.
