It's been years since the two have seen each other. Cheyenne is newly back in Seattle, crashing with Livy after a failed marriage and a series of dead ends. Livy works refinishing boats, her resentment against her free-loading sister growing as she tamps down dreams of fishing off the coast of Alaska. But the promise of a shot at financial security brings the two together to claim what's theirs. Except: instead of money, their father gives them information-a name-that both reveals a stunning secret and compels them to come to grips with it. Parallel and individually, the sisters and their adopted brother set out on journeys that will test their faith in each other, as well as their definitions of freedom. Moving from Seattle's underground to the docks of the Far North, from the hideaways of the southern swamps to the storied reaches of the Great Offshore Grounds, Veselka spins a tale with boundless verve and linguistic vitality, a deep interrogation of American greed and mythology, and an undeniable tenderness-it is the first great post-capitalist novel of the 21st century"-- $c Provided by publisher. 650 0 $a Inheritance and succession $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Sisters $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Birthmothers $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Adoptees $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Family secrets $v Fiction. 941 $a 10 952 $l GOPG641 $d 20240409035434.0 952 $l SIPD314 $d 20230201021909.0 952 $l GEPG771 $d 20210722063306.0 952 $l VXPE964 $d 20210422014101.0 952 $l TYPH572 $d 20210130011248.0 952 $l USUX851 $d 20210105040901.0 952 $l DBPE173 $d 20201103012625.0 952 $l GBPF771 $d 20201002012348.0 952 $l CAPH522 $d 20201002011845.0 952 $l BAPH771 $d 20200829015416.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=62C35472E9C411EAA98CB02F2FECA4DB 994 $a C0 $b IOUInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
