Gifty is a fifth year candidate in neuroscience at Stanford School of Medicine studying reward seeking behavior in mice and the neural circuits of depression and addiction. Her brother, Nana, was a gifted high school athlete who died of a heroin overdose after a knee injury left him hooked on OxyContin. Her suicidal mother is living in her bed. Gifty is determined to discover the scientific basis for the suffering she sees all around her. But even as she turns to the hard sciences to unlock the mystery of her family's loss, she finds herself hungering for her childhood faith, and grappling with the evangelical church in which she was raised, whose promise of salvation remains as tantalizing as it is elusive. Transcendent Kingdom is a deeply moving portrait of a family of Ghanain immigrants ravaged by depression and addiction and grief--a novel about faith, science, religion, love. Exquisitely written, emotionally searing, this is an exceptionally powerful follow-up to Gyasi's phenomenal debut. 650 0 $a Ghanaian Americans $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Immigrant families $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Doctoral students $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Grief $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Depressed persons $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Large type books. 941 $a 17 945 $a lpt 952 $l YEPF572 $d 20231012013219.0 952 $l LAPH975 $d 20230203015858.0 952 $l FXPH314 $d 20220909062036.0 952 $l WHPE115 $d 20210917055859.0 952 $l BAPH771 $d 20210916010214.0 952 $l CXPC586 $d 20210626010325.0 952 $l TXPC862 $d 20210602013021.0 952 $l YTPG232 $d 20210202012243.0 952 $l CAPH522 $d 20210105034027.0 952 $l UJPE911 $d 20201231010446.0 952 $l CBPF522 $d 20201208011836.0 952 $l GDPF771 $d 20201203010722.0 952 $l XXPH787 $d 20201105010850.0 952 $l CDPF771 $d 20201104010435.0 952 $l SAPG074 $d 20201009010631.0 952 $l TFPI826 $d 20201002011304.0 952 $l TDPH826 $d 20201002011111.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=37A957BAF4BD11EAA08D03C346ECA4DB 994 $a C0 $b IOUInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
