Flor has a gift: she can predict, to the day, when someone will die. So when she decides she wants a living wake--a party to bring her family and community together to celebrate the long life she's led--her sisters are surprised. Has Flor foreseen her own death, or someone else's? Does she have other motives? She refuses to tell her sisters, Matilde, Pastora, and Camila. But Flor isn't the only person with secrets: her sisters are hiding things, too. And the next generation, cousins Ona and Yadi, face tumult of their own.

"From the award-winning and #1 bestselling author of The Strangers comes a poignant and unflinching epic told from a constellation of Métis voices that explores the fallout when one person who connects them all goes missing in Winnipeg. The day that Cedar Sage Stranger has been both dreading and longing for has finally come: her sister Phoenix is getting out of prison. Phoenix's release causes a ripple effect through the community. M, the young girl whom she sexually assaulted, is triggered by the news. M's friends and family have her back no matter what--and all feel the threat of Phoenix's release. When Phoenix is seen lingering outside the school to catch a glimpse of her son, Sparrow, the police get a call to file a report--but the next thing they know, she has disappeared. M's cousin Jake is believed to have hurt or killed Phoenix and is arrested while they search for her. Meanwhile, Phoenix's uncle, Ship, makes violent plans to exact his revenge and law enforcement fails the community at every turn. Cedar and Phoenix's mother, Elsie, continue down different paths of healing, while everyone in their lives form a kind of circle of power amidst the chaos, calm within the storm, and beauty in the darkness.

When Andrea suddenly reappears, Maeve regains the only true friend she's ever had. Soon she's spending more time at Andrea's remote Catskills estate than in her own cramped apartment. Maeve doesn't even mind that her cousin's wealthy work friends clearly disapprove of her single lifestyle. After all, Andrea has made her fortune in the fertility industry-baby fever comes with the territory. The more Maeve immerses herself in Andrea's world, the more disconnected she feels from her life back in the city; and the cousins' increasing attachment triggers memories Maeve has fought hard to bury.
