As the next four decades pass, more characters enter the novel, including two young boys who come of age in the settlement, a troubled young woman from New Orleans, a person of indeterminate sexuality who has the power to heal wounds and see what people have been through, and a set of twin girls that mysteriously appear in Saint's arms one day, one of whom also has healing powers. As Saint's conjuring powers begin to decline, and threats from the outside loom, life becomes increasingly strange in the town; each character strives in their own way to reckon with the weight of their past as they attempt to achieve a fuller self, deal with their trauma, anger, and fear, and navigate freedom for themselves."-- $c Provided by publisher. 650 0 $a Magic $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Black people $v Fiction. 650 0 $a City and town life $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Freed persons $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Interpersonal relations $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Liberty $v Fiction. 655 7 $a Historical fiction. $2 lcgft 655 7 $a Fantasy fiction. $2 lcgft 655 7 $a Large print books. $2 lcgft 941 $a 1 945 $a lpt 952 $l GBPF771 $d 20240702032739.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=9BA7EDC2383D11EFA74ADF9234ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
