A diary, a journey, connections across countries, and glimpses into other worlds: from these elements, we discover Toni Mills. Toni journeys far, yet she makes no sudden moves. She feels safer that way. She keeps her life simple in a way that some people would find exotic and maybe terrifying. Then, on a flight from Canada to Jamaica for a work project, Toni meets her grandmother and her boyfriend, Bo. Only Grannie passed when she was barely four, and Bo when she was fifteen. Grannie and Bo arrive to help Toni remember the past, heal, and move forward. Toni keeps her world small to protect herself. On this journey, she finds herself at home in unexpected places. She finds the strength she didn't realize existed. She learns lessons through trauma and long-suppressed memories. Will Toni find peace and joy in her worldly life, or will it be too late? Robyn Lee Grebliunas' debut novel is a gentle lesson, reminding us we are not the sum of our upbringing but the strength of it.
