across the country, in and out of names and hotel rooms, you'll be
questioning her motives every step of the way. Why would she flee after
her husband's death, when she had nothing to do with it? Who is the
mysterious voice she calls to get a new name? And what is she really
running from? Thrilling and addictive, this is the thriller you've been
longing for.

This collection of stories is centered on the 1947 division of India and Pakistan, and the mass displacement of families that resulted because of it. Each piece tells its own unique story, ranging from India, Pakistan, the United States, Italy, and England.

generations of women who live in a black Southern township called
Opulence, this book is set apart by the strength of its characters and
its lyrical style. From the reputable Goode-Brown family's struggle to
