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. Hannah's whole life has been spent in
motion. 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. No roots, no family but one
another, and no explanations. All 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. Promising that
she knows someone who can help, her mother leaves Hannah and Gabe
behind to find a cure. But as the days turn to weeks and their
mother doesn't return, they realize it's up to them to find the
truth. What they discover is a family they never knew and a history
more tragic and fantastical than Hannah could have dreamed-one that
stretches back to her grandmother's childhood in Prague under the
Nazi occupation, and beyond, into the realm of Jewish mysticism and
legend. As the past comes crashing into the present, Hannah must
hurry to unearth their family's secrets in order to break the curse
and save the people she loves most, as well as herself.
